About Barbara
Barbara teaches one-to-one lessons, yoga classes and yoga therapy in the Amersham area.
She holds a teaching diploma qualification from the British Wheel of Yoga and is a registered Practitioner with the association of Yoga studies (aYs).
She started practising yoga in 1984 with an interest in using yoga for physical and mental wellbeing.
She began teaching yoga in 1997 in London, where she was formerly living. During this time her interest grew in a particular yoga approach (viniyoga) inspired by the teaching of Krishnamacharya and his son TKV Desikachar and in the UK by Paul Harvey. This approach looks at how yoga can be adapted to the individual and emphasises the importance of the connection of mind and body through use of breath with movement and yoga postures.
She is a member of the association of Yoga studies, (formerly known as Viniyoga Britain) a UK organisation of yoga practitioners and students who work with the same approach.
She is a Practitioner and co-founder of Yoga Wellness, a group of Yoga teachers/therapists in the Chilterns area.
