“Working with Barb…..
I’ve always loved the idea of yoga but could never make it work with my scoliosis. Barb welcomed and met me where I was and together we created a customized yoga practice foundation just for me. Her personalization has made all the difference! One day I came in with a pain crisis…Barb led me on an extra gentle path and I went home pain free…which really showed me how much personalized yoga and meditation works for pain relief! The combination of movement, stretches and meditation has been magical for me. I never thought I could be still enough to meditate for 15 minutes or more, let alone enjoy yoga without resulting pain. Thanks, Barb, for your gentle, wise ways! I love the practice and resulting benefits that you helped me create! ”
“Working with Barb has been a truly transformative, healing, and wonderful experience. Barb is a gifted Yoga Therapist who brings a deep knowledge of yoga (both on and off the mat), extensive training, and a holistic approach to her work that has personally aided me with long-standing physical issues, acute injuries, and stress. Additionally, working with Barb has greatly improved my overall well-being and deepened my self-understanding. Barb is able to craft individualized practices that promote recovery, balance, and serve me in all areas of life. She is truly a joy!”
“Barbara’s individualized approach to yoga has been immensely helpful in my progress toward becoming more flexible. In addition, there are the added benefits of increased self-awareness, curiosity about yoga and personal capabilities, and overall improved well-being. I consider one session with Barbara the equivalent of taking 10 group yoga classes in terms of making progress toward personal goals.”
“Barb is a very knowledgeable, caring, and approachable yoga therapist. I started working with her because of a rotator cuff injury that had been bothering me for about two years. At the time, I couldn’t use my arm overhead very well, which really limited my activities (no overhead throwing, no tennis, couldn’t open garage door…). My shoulder was healed within a couple of months of therapy with Barb. Also, my posture, overall flexibility, and stress level were greatly improved through the yoga practice that she prescribed. I developed an ongoing routine that I use to keep my body and mind relaxed and feeling good. I’m grateful for the experience; Thanks Barb!”
“I greatly appreciated Barbara’s thoughtful and informed decisions when crafting an individualized practice for my needs. She possesses a thorough knowledge of the neuromuscular system and integrated important aspects of yoga principles to assist in my return having yoga being part of each day. These individualized sessions gave me confidence to manage pain and work toward a more full and active lifestyle.”
“I had been struggling with terrible sciatic pain for quite some time, and I was starting to lose hope of finding a solution. That’s when I had the privilege of working with Barb Gibson, an exceptional yoga therapist, who who truly gave me a new approach to pain relief! Through a combination of meditative breathing exercises and specific movement techniques, Barb guided me on a journey towards healing. What truly stood out was her personal attention to my body type and idiosyncrasies. She took the time to understand my unique needs and limitations, tailoring my sessions to ensure maximum benefit. Her deep knowledge of yoga therapy and compassionate approach made all the difference. I was amazed by the results. Not only did my sciatic pain gradually subside, but I also felt a profound sense of inner peace and well-being. Barb’a ability to combine physical healing with mental support was truly remarkable... Today, I am pain-free and have valuable tools for managing stress and maintaining overall wellness. I cannot thank Barb enough! If you’re seeking a holistic approach to healing and well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend her services. She is a true gem in the world of yoga therapy.”
“I’ve been doing yoga therapy with Barb for over a year. Barb, with her patience, empathy, and sense of humor, has helped me maintain and expand my yoga practice, which is integral to managing my chronic pain and chronic health issues. Since I never know how I will be doing from day to day, I am grateful for Barb’s ability to adapt to my needs in the moment. I also appreciate Barb’s extensive knowledge of yoga, anatomy, and physiology which enable her to coordinate care with my other providers such as my physical therapist. Barb’s deep understanding and appreciation of all aspects of yoga provide many opportunities to help me discover spaces for peace.

“Barb’s generous and flexible approach to yoga—in all its dimensions—has helped me maintain an active practice despite an increasing and constantly changing set of physical constraints due to autoimmune issues. Her kind and thoughtful manner have helped me stay grounded, and in touch with my core self, in these challenging circumstances. I’m very grateful.”
“Barb has made an enormous difference in my life. I have only worked with her for 5 or 6 sessions before I moved away or I would still be working with her. I do the practice Barb crafted for me every day and most of the time that keeps me pain free. I have very painful hips and buttocks that become inflamed when I sit for long period of times. When I do my yoga therapy practice the pain is greatly reduced. Barb has also taught me relaxation techniques that I can use anytime which greatly reduce pain and stress. I would recommend Barb to anyone who needs relief from any painful condition.”
“I have known Barbara for at least five years. I have taken private yoga and breathing lessons to help me with my movement disorder and anxiety attacks. I highly recommend her. She is well trained, thoughtful, and caring. I trust her completely with my care.”
