Malaurie Barber – Yoga Alliance Registered Teacher; Forrest Yoga Certified Teacher, Kundalini and Khalsa Way Pregnancy Certified Teacher; Energy Healer and Certified Massage Therapist.

Malaurie was raised in Paris, France and was introduced at a very young age to meditation, eastern philosophy and healing. She moved to the United States 15 years ago and lived in Maryland for 10 years before moving to California 5 years ago.

She earned her Hatha Yoga certification by studying with Ana Forrest 7 years ago and went on shortly after to study Kundalini and Pregnancy Yoga with Gurmukh. Malaurie also works as a massage therapist and specializes in Cranio sacral Therapy, Energy Work and Deep Tissue Massage.

Malaurie's style of yoga is a blend between Forrest Yoga and Vinyasa flow yoga. She puts a strong emphasizes on the breath and body alignment while incorporating meditation and awareness of the body in every pose.

Malaurie's thoughts on yoga: "Before I found yoga I was sleep walking through life. Yoga woke me up, gave me back my breath and awareness of my own body. I became mind, body and soul instead of being an empty shell running trough life living only in the past and the future. I became able to be in the present and experience the moment. It is what I hope to bring to my students in every class I teach; an awareness and ability to remain present as they move from one pose to another, to experience their breath and quiet their minds."
