Barbie Leggett - Yoga Teacher
— Barbie is a nurse with a BSc. in Nursing, a Master’s of Health Studies, and many years of clinical and leadership experience. Barbie became enamoured by yoga after her first Hatha class in January 2006, and it was in the spring of that same year that she attended her first Ashtanga class. She later attended a week-long intensive Ashtanga program, and was hooked. Yoga began to strengthen her body, calm her mind and transform her perspective on life. With a thirst for knowledge, and wanting to understand more about this ancient practice, Barbie decided to become a yoga teacher. In the spring of 2007 she attended a month-long, 200-hour Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training in the Bahamas, returned to Halifax to participate in the teacher training program at Breathing Space Yoga Studio and eventually came to teach at both the Halifax and Bedford studios. Barbie has attended workshops with many great yoga teachers, including Tim Miller, Shiva Rea, Sean Corne, Rod Stryker, Mark and Joanne Darby, Cindy Lee, and most recently David Williams. She has studied extensively with David, and his philosophy and style resonate with her. Barbie’s personal teaching style reflects David’s idea that “if yoga hurts, you’re doing it wrong” and focuses on the breath and energy of the practice.
