Kathleen Barry
Hailing from the greater Washington D.C. area (Arlington, Virginia to be exact), Kathleen moved to New Orleans in late 2021. After completing her 200 hour yoga teacher training in December 2017 - with no intention of teaching - she began teaching in January 2018 and hasn’t stopped since. The path of yoga led her to hang up her power suit (13 years in management consulting for the Federal government) in favor of a completely new way of living. Yoga teaches Kathleen to be present with breath and body; to find reverence for the little things; to explore discipline and devotion as co-existing necessities of living; and to always try to start from right now, this moment. She’s most inspired by sadhana (daily spiritual/physical practice), bhakti (devotion, heart-led path), pranayama + meditation (breathwork + sitting), and asana alignment (physical movement, postures). She believes you get out of it what you put into it (“it” being the practice), and in the great paradox that is the practice of yoga, we also practice non-attaching to the fruits of our labors. Kathleen’s teaching style can be summarized by this sentiment: showing up as your full self is enough! She teaches weekly, in person classes throughout New Orleans. She also hosts yoga retreats around the world - everywhere from Pennsylvania to Indonesia!
