Barbara is the newest member to our Action Fitness family. A lifelong student of yoga, Barbara Greenberg continues her love of the benefits of practicing yoga as a certified Kripalu yoga instructor. Since receiving her certification in the summer of 2003, she is active as a teacher not only with the Community School at Parkview High School, she is also involved with the Gwinnett County Wellness Program in Georgia, and teaches classes twice weekly at that county courthouse. She has held this position since receiving her certification.

With training in both Yoga Kids and Yoga Fit, Barbara is able to provide students with a playfulness and a physical experience while embracing the inner teachings of a yoga practice. Kripalu yoga is a gentle hatha-based style which encourages an inner attitude of self observation -where there is no judgment, allowing the student a flowing state of awareness to be present in the mind. This awareness allows one to become fully present and encourages the experience of being fully emerged , alive in the moment.

Barbara's students receive the benefits of all that a yoga practice has to offer; flexibility, strength, balance, and peace of mind. Flexibility begins in the mind and with that opening ANYTHING is possible. It is through the simple process of slowing down the mind that her students are able to become more centered, less stressed in their lives and are able to cope with the challenges presented to them.They have an awareness of taking on life -one breath at a time.

Barbara has been awarded Gwinnett County Community School Teacher of the year for 2010, and in 2008 she created a program for the teachers at Parkview High School called "Pay it Forward Yoga" where she volunteers an hour and a half a week teaching the participants yoga. The participants in turn do something for their favorite charity or cause in their community and "pay forward" this gift in some way.

She is mom to daughter Gabrielle and is currently working on a book "Grieving with an Open Heart" to assist those on this journey. The book is her heartfelt work and an attempt to assist those who have experienced the sudden loss of a loved one. Her inspiration comes from her own experience with the loss of her son Joel in the summer of 1990.

Her life- is a work in progress.
