Testimonials:
Cynthia Kneale, November, 2018 (Xinalani Rereat)
Barb, I want to say thank you so much for all you did to create an amazing retreat for me personally, and for the entire group. It was perfect from start to finish and you set such a marvelous positive tone with your lovely personality and your knowledge of yoga. The location was fantastic. The rooms were so delightful with the open air to the ocean. I had trouble following asleep last night as I missed the sound of the waves and the fresh jungle air.
The yoga studios were the best ever and the ocean and jungle location helped us to be so calm and to deepen our practice. I loved your Yoga Nidra and you need to continue your journey on that path.
The attention of the resort staff was impeccable as was their skill with preparing healthy and locally sourced food. The staff went above and beyond at all times and were so kind and helpful.
Thank you for the lovely gift of the Peppermint Halo essence. I have been enjoying it so much today. It transports me back to Mexico and to the wonderful experience you provided. I enjoyed your energetic practice and your kindness you showed to all. I really enjoyed getting to know the group of women, but especially you. I am looking forward to fun times together in the future!
Thank you for making this life altering week become a reality!
Fondly, Cynthia

I absolutely love and crave Barb’s Power Hot Yoga class. I am a working mom of two young children, and the benefit that Barb’s presence and practice does for my body, mind & spirit is amazing. She is a warrior of a woman. The power and strength she holds herself is unbelievable. When you are in her class you feel your own power and strength is unstoppable. Although her workout is fierce, she leads with a perfect blend of peace and determination. Barb also shares meditation at the end of class. Although I wasn’t all that familiar practicing meditation, Barb’s guidance & essence helped me get there and make it such a pleasurable experience. Given my time is so sacred, I specifically choose Barb’s class. It’s a wicked workout where I can clear my head and walk out an enhanced version of myself. I definitely feel way more toned & stronger than I ever have before - this is with great thanks to Barb. Keep sharing your gift with us, Barb!
