I have  been in the world of Yoga Teaching, Massage Therapy, and Energy Work for about 10 years.  I have worked with people going though cancer and chronic illness, caregivers, community colleges, at a local JCC and privately.  Bari has practiced Yoga and Meditation personally off and on over the years before being trained as a teacher.  It was and still is tremendously helpful for me in facing my own issues of anxiety and fear.  It is my belief that anyone who wants to do Yoga can do it.  It is a very personal and adaptable practice.  My teaching style is designed to empower people to connect with and find ease and love in their own bodies.  It is an eclectic practice because I bring in teachings from various forms and styles that I have studied over the years. It is my great joy to share what I continue to learn with anyone who is willing to show up and give it a try.   

​

I have brought massage to a range of people as well.  I can create a massage program based on an individual’s physical concerns, lifestyle, and preferences.  Some of the modalities that I offer are Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, Table Thai Massage (passive stretching with massage) as well as a form of energy work called Jin Shin Jyutsu.  (see more about Jin Shin Jyutsu at https://www.bariruck.com/services) 

All sessions, whether private yoga or massage will be done with great consideration and mindfulness around COVID-19 prevention.  Safe practices will be in place so that you can have as soothing and peaceful experience as possible.
