Shala Vinyasa Yoga
Barbara Verrochi teaches vinyasa yoga, Mysore Ashtanga, pranayama, and meditation. She began practicing Iyengar Yoga, Jivamukti Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga in the 1990s through study with influential teachers, including Kevin Gardiner, Sharon Gannon, David Life, Eddie Stern, Maria Rubinate, Genny Kapuler, and the Jois family in Mysore, India. She began teaching in 1996, and co-founded The Shala Yoga with Kristin Leigh in 2002. Barbara co-directs and is a faculty member of The Shala’s teacher training and mentorship programs.

Barbara’s classes regularly feature harmonium and devotional singing, all thanks to her beloved teacher Gulum Mohamed Kahn. Her meditation practice and teaching are guided by the work of Sharon Salzberg and Kate Johnson. Barbara lives in Brooklyn, NY, with her beautiful son.

JIVAMUKTI Yoga Open
Move into advanced postures by injecting the mystical into the physical. Ancient yogis understood that the body comes into the alchemy of movement when instilled with intention, purpose, and connection. Postures are skillfully introduced and sequenced with increasing intensity, infused with non-dogmatic Yoga philosophy, suggestions from one’s own voice as revealed in the chanting of ancient mantras, as well as the all-elusive sound of one’s own breath. Variations to optional advanced poses are offered so practitioners can work at their own level, moving through arm balances, deep hip openers, twists, chest expanding backbends and inversions.
