Barbara Voinar

Barbara is co-founder of 4th Street Yoga in Berkeley, CA . She has been trained in the Siddha, Iyengar, and Anusara yoga traditions and values the the influence of her teachers Angela Farmer & Victor Van Kooten whose home is on Lesvos. She has taught yoga in prisons, specialized in pre and post natal yoga, created a Healing Yoga class for woman living with cancer, and is a certified yoga therapist. Her classes range from approaching the asanas in their most gentle forms as well as advancing to enjoy invigorating practices. She teaches retreats internationally and has been teaching for over 25+ years.

Within the modern yoga whirl of flashy poses and impassioned invocations, Barbara Voinar calmly and expertly guides a community of yogis in an ever-deepening experience of themselves. In Barbara’s classes at 4th Street Yoga in Berkeley, yogis discover a precise and often subtle practice of hatha yoga that reflects more than thirty years of experience. The practice requires a sustained, focused attention. It gives back a sweetness that Barbara describes as “inner wellbeing.” Day by day, it opens up a rich web of inner pathways, a wider field of awareness.
