Loving Yoga

We don’t use the body to get into the pose, we use the pose to get into the body.

Bernie Clarke

Yin Yoga teacher and author

Here at Loving Yoga, I want to share my love of yoga and the benefits of understanding how our bodies work. Yoga is good for all shapes, sizes, ages…. yoga is for EVERY BODY. 

A strong focus on mindfulness permeates all classes, but also shows up in the connection to the beauty of our surroundings on the Bruce Peninsula. Bruce Trail hikes, events, educational seminars, beer and farm gatherings are in the planning- with yoga at the centre of it all. Come join me in these endeavours and find yourself Loving Yoga.

Why Choose Loving Yoga?

I live intentionally, with the aim of fostering loving kindness toward myself, others and the world.

You will find me to be welcoming and non-judgemental. I offer a variety of styles, with something for everyone.

The principles of the Yamas & Niyamas guide our lives and our practice. 
Yamas: non-violence, truthfulness, non stealing, non-excess, non-possessiveness
Nyamas: purity, contentment, self study, self discipline, surrender

This isn’t to say that it is always easy, but it makes all the difference in our practice and in our lives.

What people say about Loving Yoga

  • About a year ago we started our weekly yoga sessions with Barbara. We are an international group of friends, practicing yoga together despite living in different time zones! Barbara is super friendly, knowledgeable and passionate. She takes the time to address individual problems, questions and needs. During my preparation for a marathon she adapted the classes and supported me on my challenging journey. I’m excited to continue learning and practicing yoga. Namaste!    – January 2022

  • Finding a teacher who can lead but also encompass everyone’s pace simultaneously is a rare thing but Barbara manages to do it with ease. Her calm demeanor and focus on the task at hand is infectious. She doesn’t let her own enjoyment distract her from the needs of her students. She uses her extensive knowledge of the human body to explain the choice of the exercise for each lesson. Not only providing relaxation but imparting deeper understanding of the practice. – August 2021

  • I owe much of my continued mobility to Barbara.  When Barbara started teaching Yin Yoga classes, I was glad to add the gentle stretches to my regimen.  Then, when she added a mixed class of classic Yin combined with strengthening and energizing Yang, I found that I was able to keep up and continue to strengthen.   And when she added Body Rolling as an adjunct to the Yin classes, I found that this, too, improved my mobility.   Even though my second round of hip replacement surgery has been postponed by the pandemic, I am far better prepared for that surgery than I was for the first.  Additionally, the mindfulness that Barbara teaches has also better prepared me mentally for any new challenges. – July 2021
