Barbara Cruz

Barbara is a globetrotter!
She has taught yoga in Lisbon, New York, Rio Janeiro, Patagonia, London, Barcelona, Amsterdam and now we are lucky to have her share her love of yoga at Yoga Moves, Utrecht! At the age of 17 she was introduced to Iyengar yoga and she went on to receive a degree in Physical Education and Dance. Barbara’s life is dedicated to the art of movement and yoga. She has studied Iyengar yoga and Ashtanga yoga with many seniors teachers: Sri. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Rangaswamy, Nancy Gilgoff, Manju Jois, Rolf Naujokat, BKS Iyengar, Mary Dunn to name the most known yogis. In addition she has undertaken periods of Vipassana meditation in Europe, South America and Asia and of course in daily life. She is also an Ayurvedic Therapist. Barbara has experienced so many benefits from the traditional approach to yoga as taught by Sri. Pattabhi Jois that she dedicates her teaching style to express this tradition, with of course the addition of her own personal expression of love and playful inspiration.
