TRUSTING THE MYSTERY
"My sisters and I couldn’t have had a more blessed encounter! I asked for a mind calming experience and got even more….
a quiet hike in the beautiful forest outside Santa Fe and meditation in a very special serene space. We were all seeking guidance to calm our lives and minds and you showed us the way with your comforting voice and loving words. You ended the occasion with slow, calming yoga to relax our bodies. You have a wonderful gift Barbara and it’s obvious you take it seriously and work hard to perfect it. But you make it look so effortless! Thank you so much for sharing that gift with me and my sisters."

Balance of meditation and yoga
"I loved the balance of meditation and yoga and the clarity and honesty
of your shared thoughts and focus. You did a terrific job of meeting
all different student levels of yoga practice. Really this entire experience
has been more than I'd dreamed. The energy you create is so lovely,
delicious --
makes one want to continue the journey into the now."
"As a beginner, this retreat exceeded my expectations for a positive
experience. It has encouraged me to make yoga an important part of my
life from now on, to share with my wife and new yoga partner!"

Her class helped me move something deep inside of me that I really needed support in and I actually experienced a profound healing and upliftment.

You will experience such wonderful level of grace and support when you come to her retreats that will nourish your whole being and help you in every aspect of your life whether its physical health, mental, spiritual emotional and help you with achieving the harmony in your life that you desire!! She’s a real Yogi in the best and most authentic sense of the word."
"The yoga sessions were more than I could ever have hoped for -- fit
my every mood. Loved the free periods and the small group sessions.
I will NEVER forget this week. I look forward to not only next year,
but to every morning from here on.
I can't wait for the rest of my life
to unfold. You are a remarkable woman. A true inspiration."

"Thank you again for your wonderful way of being.
You are a guiding
light. Thank you for all the energy you put into the handouts and into
the sense of loving support that you emanate. The yoga sessions were
all excellent. Barbara, you have a
great gift in the words of inspiration you use as well as naming the phases of each evolving pose. Being with
you was all and more than I had imagined."
David M.
"The yoga was wonderful as it always is. I appreciate your starting
more gently and increasing in intensity as the week progressed. I know
that these things don't just come together without a good deal of work
and care, and I appreciate your efforts. The thoughts and questions
generated by the exercises will stay with me long after we have left
Sayulita. Your
care and thoughtfulness in all aspects of the retreat made for a wonderful experience."

A deep love and knowingness that permeates the whole space to allow healing and renewal of one’s consciousness
And as a healer and facilitator myself, it is especially meaningful to find a teacher where I feel such integrity and knowledge that transcends just the physical awareness of yoga. She transmits
a deep love and knowingness that permeates the whole space to allow healing and renewal of one’s consciousness." Sarah West
"I hope you will continue to show the world your beautiful and positive
presence. Thank you so much for this unforgettable week of self-growth
for me. The sessions had great fluidity and variety. The pace was great
and everything transitioned so smoothly. Always a welcoming and caring
atmosphere.
