TESTIMONIALS
“Intelligent, accessible and satisfying – Barbara’s classes balance strength and grounding with expansiveness and clarity. They leave you with a sense of ‘ahhh’. I highly recommend her whole person focused classes!”
“Practicing yoga with Barbara … was a deeply therapeutic and nourishing experience. I felt held by her strong warmth and compassion as she skillfully adapted classes for the needs of the group… incorporating elements of aroma and music into (her) session(s).”
George Murrel (REO Rafting & Yoga Resort, August 2022)
“Barbara introduced us to the amazing world of Activated Asana yoga, which we were completely new to. We realized the incredible significance of this restorative and safe practice as it provides a positive and healthy guide to our movements. The combination of her voice, diverse instruments she played for us, poetry readings, chanting, and spiritual insights was engaging and joyful. The experience was enriching. The perfect blend of meditation, movement and learning was beautifully orchestrated by her, and she took excellent care of us throughout the entire experience. Thank you.”
Tzafi, Guy and Dr. Eytan Weinberg – July, 2023 – REO Rafting Resort)
“It was a welcome treat to have my Grade 1 students join Ms. Meyer for yoga classes (at J.J.Nearing Elementary School) . She greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm. My students calmly settled in for an experience that would have a lasting impact throughout our day. Clear directions and an encouraging tone helped all of my students to remain focused and to feel successful. Having time to breathe and move their bodies in a gentle yet intentional way helped them to return to the classroom ready to listen and learn. One student summed up our experience perfectly by saying, “I wish we could do this every day.” Thank you, Ms. Meyer!

Prenatal yoga can help you relax, stay fit, prepare for labour and promote the health of your baby. It can improve sleep, reduce stress and anxiety. It increases strength and endurance of important muscles and decreases the severity of normal pregnancy discomforts. The focus is on breathing, strengthening, mental centering, mindfulness, meditation & visualization – important tools in labour and childbirth. Prenatal yoga can also enable you to connect and bond with other “Moms to be” and help prepare you for the journey of becoming a new parent. Suitable for all levels of experience and mobility.
