“The work on the vagal nerve and
breathing techniques to calm the nervous system with Barbara at Woodstock Yoga Center has profoundly changed my life for the better.”

I cannot recommend her classes highly enough.

“What an incredible class yesterday! I am still feeling the effects!”

I noticed several times yesterday that my legs felt so sturdy, even just standing still. I am very fortunate to be a woman of a certain age (almost 73) with very little joint pain/issues. I have noticed a slight discomfort in my right hip crease, mostly when I hug my knees. I have had this for months! Today it is gone! I can only attribute this to the fascia/stretching work we did yesterday! Thanks again for a great class.

“Your class is a game-changer for me, and you are an excellent teacher!”

I've done other types of yoga before, locally, and always ended up injured or feeling overwhelmed. There's none of that in your classes. Thank you!

“I can't tell you how much your classes have meant to me in the last year.”

They are life-changing! Thank you so much from the absolute bottom of my heart.

“You have left an invaluable impression on me and my practice.”

I thank you and think of you often (every time I go into padmasana!). I can only hope to experience your teaching and friendship again one day.

“Barbara has her own kind of magic, grounded in her love for the practice and a sweeping intellect that allows her to structure classes strategically, like a five-star yoga general.”

After an hour of thoughtfully, carefully, masterfully leading us through all manner of poses aimed at opening the stubborn pelvic region, after endless chatter from my worn-out internal recording (the "I Can't Do This" song), I once again found myself flying, incredulously, with Hanuman. Here. I. Am. Perfect split, heart calmly soaring, and again, a bow to my teacher.

“Thanks to your AMAZING yoga classes, I just decided to do a handstand here at home against the wall this morning because, um, I felt like I needed to?”

Your classes are crazy transformative; any words I try to come up with just cannot do you justice as a yoga instructor. We are SO lucky here in Woodstock that you make this your home.

“You are a brilliant genius yoga teacher!”

That class took all the stress of my entire week out of my body, mind, and spirit! Thank you.

– E.P.

“Your class was like a drink of water in the desert. THANK YOU. You are an amazing yoga practitioner.”

“The effect of the last restorative yoga class was profound!”

I experienced a visceral sense of internal spaciousness in the front and back of my head, and my brain felt oxygenated and ventilated. I sat in deep, effortless meditation at home afterward, more empty of thought, experiencing the natural mind. Thank you.
