Some of you have asked us to do a taster of the retreat in Mexico in March so here it is!
I’m so excited to share something truly special with you! On August 16th from 6:30-9pm, Anna Beaumont and I will be coming together to offer a unique experience that blends yoga and voice in a way that we’ve both cherished for years.
Our friendship spans decades, and through these years, we’ve each gathered a rich tapestry of wisdom in body, voice, and well-being. Now, we are thrilled to bring these two beautiful worlds together just for you.
Join us for an evening where we’ll explore the profound connection between body and voice, and experience firsthand the joy and harmony that will arise.

Testimonials:
“Barbara is unlike any yoga instructor I have ever been taught by! Not only does she have extensive knowledge on the science of yoga and how to practice safely, but she takes the time to get to know you personally and provides valuable advice that sticks with you far beyond your time together during her retreats. She is incredibly open-minded and creates a safe space to share and experiment that fosters growth and healing. She even goes above and beyond to keep in contact with you after her retreats and be a resource when needed as she cares so deeply about the people she has met along the way. My time with her during the Asana Yoga Retreat at REO Resort in Boston Bar is something I will never forget. If you are looking to deepen your practice, connect with yourself, meet new people and bask in the beauty of nature alongside an amazing teacher, I highly recommend doing one of her retreats!” Logan Kazimer – July 2024 – REO Rafting & Yoga Resort
“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
“Barbara’s Activated Asana retreat was simply amazing. It is a great experience for anyone interested in understanding how muscles work in our bodies and how we can activate them and protect ourselves from injury when exercising. The retreat is a mixture of workshop learning as well as active practice. This knowledge has improved the way I move throughout the day as well as how to practice my yoga and other activities without injuring myself. Barbara’s music was a special addition to the course.
Participants don’t have to be practicing a lot of yoga to learn and benefit from this retreat. You just need a desire to improve your body strength in a healthy way to make your life the best it can be. I highly recommend this retreat.” Naomi Erickson – July, 2023 – REO Rafting Resort
“I met Barbara at a yoga retreat in a beautiful forest setting (at REO Resort) at a time when I was struggling to recover from an injury. Her style of teaching, warm personality, and focus on “activated asanas” had a profound influence on every facet of how I thought about yoga. After 20 years of doing yoga, mixed with pilates and fitness classes, I was really struck by how much I needed to unlearn. I personally really benefited from Barbara’s micro-focus on how joints and muscles underpin the postures. After the in-person retreat, I signed up for two sets of her 6-week Zoom sessions and found her to be incredibly effective in that format as well. She is an excellent communicator and her verbal cues helped me make micro-corrections that re-balanced my yoga practice – which is now stronger than ever. Barbara approaches yoga almost from a physiotherapy perspective and her science-based knowledge is embedded in her teachings. I now use her techniques and lessons about Activated Asana in every thing I do – from sports to walking to desk stretches. I highly recommend signing up for any of Barbara’s retreats or sessions – you will not be disappointed. ” Kristin Foster – December, 2023
“I have been doing yoga daily for 6+ years and felt that if I didn’t stretch daily my arthritic hips and my tight hamstrings would not be happy. However, with time, I was not seeing improvement and, in fact, my hips and hamstrings were aching more and more. Sleep was becoming a problem and I was using a massage gun and A535 regularly. Then I signed up for a workshop on Activated Asana by Barbara Leah Meyer and my world changed. After this course, plus participating in some of her Saturday morning classes, I have learned that pushing myself to get deeper into the pose, and really stretching out my hips was what was hurting me. Now having the understanding learned from Barbara, I need to activate my muscles in the asanas and build up my strength in these poses so that I am not stressing out my joints. I would highly recommend taking a course from Barbara on Activated Asana. She was very thorough in her explanations and demonstrations, making it all very easy to understand. It was a game-changer.” Leona Cook (yogi) – November 2022
“Attending this workshop provided me with a new way to look at movement. This is for anyone who wants to learn more about how everyday movements can become more intentional and prevent injury for the future. Barbara is a great facilitator and shares her passion and knowledge in a way that makes the experience welcoming and engaging.” Larissa Paul (Yoga Instructor) – February, 2023
