Barb Rector is a certified yoga instructor and registered with Yoga Alliance. She resides in Mesa with her husband Steve. Currently teaching yoga and Pilates. On my first day of the 200 hr. Teacher Training Program at SWIHA, my instructor Cain Carroll, made the comment that “yoga feels like you have come home”. Inspired by my experience with a small studio as a student, part-owner and teacher, my wish is to help others to find their way home. Barb is honored to have received her 500 hour Master-Level Yoga Teaching Certificate in June of 2006 from Inner Vision Yoga.
Not long ago, I picked up a book at a second-hand store titled, A Gradual Awakening. If I were to describe my yoga experience, that would state it perfectly.
I had taken yoga classes on occasion but did not start a regular practice until the fall of 2000. A class was being offered at the gym and I loved it but wasnt ready to give up aerobics. As I began to add more yoga, including power classes, I noticed I wasnt hurting afterwards. It felt right. It created a sense of well-being that lasted long after class was finished.
I left the gym for a small yoga studio and eventually became one of several partners. The time there was a great learning experience, a beginning of that awakening but the real growing came when I took 200hr. YTT in 2003 with Cain Carroll. It truly was as they say–like peeling the layers of an onion. It was life changing. I felt that I wanted more understanding and went on to take the 300hr. YTT at Innervision in the fall of 2004. Another amazing experience that underscored the realization that there are infinite things to learn and everyday brings opportunity for growth.
Yoga is an absolute joy to me. My feeling is the mat is our classroom and this practice guides us, gives us wisdom and courage to face the challenges that life brings. It brings you to a deeper understanding of spirituality as resonates with you.
I have been teaching since spring 2004 and to be able to share yoga with others is an incredible gift. It is a joy as well to see each student practicing as is right for them, learning that they are perfect as they are, letting go if even for a moment of the external and finding their way home.
