Stay Strong, Stay Balanced. Personalized Movement for 50+
About Bara
I am a Washington, D.C. based personal trainer and yoga teacher.
I teach in-person classes and train at DC's Jewish Community Center, Seabury Resources for Aging, at my private exercise space, and in client's homes. I also teach online for Around Town DC and private students.
I received my 200-hour yoga training at Tranquil Space in 2018 and my 300-hour training at Past Tense studios. I received my Personal Training and Nutrition Coaching Certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine in 2025. I am also a senior fitness specialist and have additional training in yoga therapeutics and meditation.
When I'm not teaching, I am a freelance health journalist and write about policy, movement and wellness. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and two adorable dogs.
Bara's approach
Every one has a different lived experience and therefore a different body. I meld my knowledge of yoga, personal training, functional movement, and anatomy to create classes and programs tailored to each person's individual needs and goals.
My evidence-based approach helps students move better, feel stronger, and maintain the physical capabilities that matter most in daily life.
""In my early 50's I was seeking help to improve my body and mind for endurance sport racing. I found learning the benefits of meditation, nutrition and yoga from Bara helped me accomplish my goals. Bara's depth of knowledge, technique and calm attitude were vital to my improvement. Thanks Bara!!""

"Bara is a fantastic, creative yoga teacher. I have been practicing yoga since I was 15 years old have had many teachers. Online is not easy to teach and yet I always go away with something new to think about and incorporate into my practice. Just wanted to thank you!"
