Barbara Gemma, RYT-500
Registered Yoga Teacher
Always interested in the idea of being as fit and healthy as possible throughout her adult life, Barbara has remained physically active, practicing and teaching aerobics and Tap and participating in all kinds of fitness classes.
Several injuries, loss of flexibility, and a belief that she needed something more led to her first Yoga class some 15 years ago right here at Highland Yoga. By the 4th or 5th class she was hooked! But she wanted a deeper understanding of the Yoga journey so she signed up for a 36 hour Intro to Anusara with John Levis. Desire for further emotional and intellectual enrichment led to additional exploration: both a 200 hr. and then an additional 300 hr teacher training with Carolyn and Stephen (at Highland Yoga).
The Yoga experience is diverse and extensively rewarding. It tends to nurture the many facets that our lives can have and bring those parts into a harmonious balance. For Barbara, being able to share her love of Yoga through teaching has enriched her life in ways she never imagined.
“Let us try to recognize the precious nature of each day” (The 14th Dalai Lama).
Testimonials
“I am so happy that I went to Prana today to try the Beginner Hatha class at 11AM. Barbara is a wonderful teacher. She was very clear in her description of each move and it made it very easy for a beginner to feel confident. The other students were so friendly and welcoming that I am ready to go back and take more classes at this local studio. If you live in Kinnelon or the surrounding area this is the place to go!” - JP
