Instructor: Barrie Raffel

Barrie began studying yoga in 1994 and received her first teaching certificate in 1997 from Cyndi Lee, director of Om Yoga Center in New York City.   In 2005 - 2006, Barrie received her Relax and Renew and advanced Relax and Renew teaching certifications from Judith Lasater.  She continues to study with Genny Kapuler, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Roxlyn Moret and other master teachers.  Barrie is a registered yoga teacher with the national certifying organization Yoga Alliance.   In recent years, she has focused on women’s issues and taught for Baby Om (a class for moms and babies) for 4 years.  She feels yoga helped her and her husband tremendously through years of trying to conceive which focused her interest into yoga and fertility.  She lives in New York City with her husband and son.
