Barbara Harrison is certified as a yoga instructor by Yoga Fit, a worldwide yoga instructional organization dedicated to making yoga accessible to everyone.

Her background in movement prior to yoga was dance. Growing up in Manhattan she studied Russian ballet with Marina Svetlova as a child, followed by study with the Martha Graham company, where, after five years, she was asked to audition for the troupe. Much of the Graham technique is based on yoga; when  Barbara began the practice of yoga as an adult, she realized that she'd been doing it for a good part of her life.

As a professional sculptor working in welded brass and other materials she finds the practice of yoga invaluable in terms of flexibility and strength.

Barbara maintains sculpture studios in both Sarasota, Fl and Silver City, NM.

Currently Barbara teaches Vinyasa Flow Yoga and Chair Yoga classes in Sarasota at Suncoast Tech College (STC) in their adult division (ACE).
