Yoga with Elizabeth Barnet

Elizabeth has been teaching yoga in Marin County and beyond since 1992. She apprenticed with Judith Lasater at the Iyengar Yoga Institute, studied with Donald Moyer and others at the Yoga Room in Berkeley, and continues her studies with Ramanand Patel and others. Her yoga background is rooted in the Iyengar tradition but also influenced by Desikachar, flow yoga, and her dance background. Her gentle, thorough, and attentive observations and articulations support each student's individual needs and differences.

Elizabeth is a graduate of St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a great books program. This classical education supports her life and thinking.

Elizabeth was born in Zambia and grew up in many parts of the US including Boulder, Chicago, and Boston. Elizabeth is the mother of three. (She taught through all of her pregnancies.)

She is a home school teacher. She and her husband, artist Rufus Blunk (www.rufusblunk.com), met in the Nicaraguan countryside in 1986 while volunteering on a housebuilding and water system project.

Elizabeth is also the co-director of West Marin Commons, www.westmarincommons.org, a community organization.

The secret: Your body is your instrument so I always did a lot of yoga.

ESTHER TUTTLE, 99 “I think the secret of a long life is partly genes, but I also think it’s being conscious of your body. Your body is your instrument. So I always did exercises, did a lot of yoga, stretching exercises and walking.

From a NYTimes article Tuesday, October 19, 2010: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/19/health/19Voices1.html?_r=1&th&emc=th

Many of the students in my Senior/Adaptive Yoga class have studied with me for many, many years. And many are in their 80s and 90s. I learn so much from them.
