Barbara Byrne - Yoga
Yoga Teacher
Hi, I’m Barbara
I had been exploring ways to cope with depression and anxiety for many years before I discovered yoga. It wasn’t until my early 40s that I developed a regular practice.
I had previously allowed my limits around my body shape and age to stop me from pursuing yoga teacher training.
However, time spent online at meditation and yoga classes during COVID-19 helped me gain the confidence to begin my search for Yoga Teacher Training. Then, I found Aruna Yoga in 2022.
Embodied hatha yoga has taught me to get out of my head, listen to my body, and ask what it needs.
I am a Yoga Alliance Certified 200hr Embodied Hatha Yoga & Meditation teacher.My wish is to make yoga and meditation accessible for every BODY. Also, I want to combine my years of learning – including life coaching, walking/hiking on the Camino Way and the trails in Ireland – with mediative skills that help individuals calm their minds and help them get out of their heads and into their bodies.
My classes are for you if you are a beginner or an experienced yogi looking to explore
