Barbara Benagh has been under yoga's spell since the early '70s. A student of the Iyengar method until 1986, she had a curiosity about other viewpoints that led her to Angela Farmer, who encouraged her to follow her own voice. For the past 20 years Barbara has trusted that voice while continuing to study periodically with teachers she feels are unique. Barbara also loves hiking and cycling and, yes, she is a Red Sox fan.

Hatha yoga is a multilayered experience of working with the koshas or “sheaths,” moving from the dynamics of form to the subtle realm of breath and, finally, to the energetic level. Combining asana, breath, and meditation, this integrated practice is both practical and inspiring. Bring a blanket. Mostly asana.

Fast-forward living can be exhilarating. But while some stress is healthy, excess stress can negatively impact the body-mind. We’ll take the time to consciously slow down with breathing exercises and relaxation poses. Then, we’ll practice slow flow sequences designed to revitalize the body-mind and instill awareness that you can carry into daily life. Lecture and asana.
