Barbara

Barbara Schauer arrived in Asheville in 2007 from Encinitas, California. Her fascination with yoga began early and she studied and practiced independently before the boon of finally meeting her teacher, Ana Costa, creator of Anahata Yoga, in 2001. Anahata Yoga's unique embodiment of the spirituality of yoga, by accentuating the heart chakra, answered Barbara's wish for an autheticity in yoga that could include all students. She began teaching in 2002 and is an accredited 500 RYT in Anahata with additional 100 hours teacher training in Ashtanga Yoga with Tim Miller.

Barbara says, "It is my wholehearted conviction that yoga's benefits are a timely gift to us and I see in it an antidote to the desensitization, stress, and spiritual starvation of our epoch. Yoga has in it a way to support us in living our lives as we hope to: with strength, calm, happiness, and appreciation."
