Barbara Paulsen, E-RYT has been practicing yoga since 1992. Certified by the Center for Yoga and the Samata Yoga Center in Los Angeles, California she has an eclectic background in Hatha Yoga. Her training with Larry Payne, PhD. is inspired by the teachings of T.K.V. Desikarachar. She is also massage therapist, reiki master and has advance training in pranic healing.

Barbara founded In Balance Yoga with the steadfast motivation to remind students that peace and happiness lie within each of us.  It is her absolute conviction that when we turn our attention to the inner wisdom of our heart, we are shown the way to a balanced life. 

"My first experience with yoga was about eighteen years ago.  My family had a tragic loss and yoga was recommend by a close friend.  She said it would help with the healing process.  My first class was profound, I found a quiet space that allowed me to connect with my heart and start to grieve my loss. The next 2 years were very challenging but my practice guided me to open my heart and trust my connection with myself, others and with the Divine.  Over time my yoga practice became about seeing beyond myself so that I can hold a space for others to heal through their practice."

"Yoga is powerful tool that anyone can learn.  It teaches you to embrace the teacher within, finding peace and inner wisdom.  I love sharing this valuable gift with my students. My greatest hope is to provide a safe haven for students of all levels and abilities ... fostering a healing space for acceptance, compassion and love."

In Balance Yoga was approved by Yoga Alliance as a registered school in December of 2008.
