Barbara, I love your enthusiasm which is what makes you so real and contagious. Not only are you a great teacher but an inspiring speaker. You go girl.
I haven’t felt this good since I was 23. I’m 69.
I love the recordings!! I’m regularly doing yoga five times a week … three via the live Zoom and the other two from the recordings. I also use the recording when I have to miss one of my regular classes. Please keep them coming!!
Today’s awareness through movement class was amazing for me. I was not expecting my body to feel so changed by the class. My whole body felt like it could move better even though we focused on shoulder and neck. These small actions repeated in a very easy calm relaxed way made more difference than the many hard core classes I have taken at other places.
An unexpected (by me at least) side effect of your happy hips class is that I can now walk up stairs almost normally, something I haven’t been able to do ever since I dislocated my knee playing tennis 15 years ago.
It’s been 14 years since I began taking your courses which were recommended to me by a body worker. How fortuitous. I began almost immediately to notice that I didn’t wake up stiff any more. I didn’t want to take a yoga that reminded me of my high school gym class inadequacies, and what you now call the Body Brilliant Method that doesn’t rely on old “no pain, no gain” or other of the latest fad gimmicks continues to be such an important part of my days that I’m hoping you’ll keep going as long as I am above ground. Now 14 years later and ready to turn 79 in the fall, I want to thank you for all the work you’ve put in to make your method of conscious, aware movement available, first in your studio and then online. That recommendation sure is paying off in the midst of my aging. Again, thank you.
Very good interview, Barbara! About the part where you were mentioning that your class (i.e. we) were getting it from your verbal instructions … you are very good in giving precise, step by step, descriptive instructions as we move through Yoga 1. That is a very special skill and one that I love because I like to keep my eyes closed to help me feel by body. You have always been good at this but I feel it more acutely since we’ve been doing Yoga via Zoom.
