Our Team
The stronger the love in us. The stronger the love around us.
At Yoga Barn, our team is fueled by a deep passion for the movement we teach, rooted in the healing impact it has had on our own lives. We’ve overcome adversity, injury, and illness, and continue to do the work. Our personal revelations inspired us to become teachers, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to share our collective wisdom with our community.
