WHAT'S the "BB" BUZZ

WELCOME GROUPONERS and COUPONERS!

About

It all starts with this deep beautiful sacred practice. A practice that can be very serious and even intellectual but...what is less obvious, is that this ancient practice can also be so much fun. And this is why we created Bhakti Barn. Through the Asana practice there becomes this opportunity to be completely in the moment. Completely free and not hindered by thoughts - not hindered by anything external, just you, your breath and the moment.
Yoga is about Union and Connection. We created this space to accomodate a new community. A place where people can connect to others through the practice of yoga combined with the lightness of laughter and infused with beautiful color and music.
We want Bhakti Barn to be a place where your discovery can be light hearted and the development of your Yoga practice can be an individual exploration, moving at your own pace.
Come to class and have some tea!

Betsy

Betsy Davis, studio director and principal instructor of Bhakti Barn Yoga, has been teaching yoga for more then 10 years. Davis grew up in the Midwest as part of a large family and has always loved the feeling of community and union, which is the premise of yoga. She did her yoga teacher training with Dana Flynn and Jasmine Tarkeshi of Laughing Lotus in New York City and continues to be inspired by them.
Davis, an accomplished piano player, infuses music into her teaching. She uses creative and playful movement to promote her students' exploration of peace, freedom and joy. She believes this path acts as a bridge to a deeper union with one's self.
When Davis is not teaching yoga, she channels her creativity through her decorative painting and seamstress studio. She paints murals and creates window treatments and slipcovers for both business and residential clients, a business she has maintained for over 20 years.

Sonia

Yoga to me is a devotional and loving way to find the true spirit that lives inside each and every one of us. It is with this openhearted approach that I passionately come in and teach my classes. I live to share my practice with the freedom of self-expression, freshness and fun while still finding the healing in the breath and movement. My humble philosophy and teachings, offer a class infused with loving kindness, creativity, humor and devotion, while still maintaining a vigorous fun-filled yogic flow.

“Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where
there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to
be in the midst of all those things and still be calm
in the heart.” ~ Unknown

Arjuna

After a young lifetime of questioning the “what is?” “what comes next?” and “who am I?” Arjuna came knocking on Yoga’s cellar door. He took his first class at Laughing Lotus Yoga in New York City, and quickly fell in love. It was there that he first encountered many inspiring teachers and friends who helped him to understand that in the questioning there is healing – and healing is about the whole.

Among the teachers he met at Laughing Lotus was Betsy Ji, who quickly became a beloved friend and mentor. So when she asked him to teach alongside her at Bhakti Barn, he didn’t hesitate. Like all the wonderful teachers at the Barn, Arjuna’s classes are playful, exploratory, and encouraging – he wants nothing more than for all who come to share in the practice of being themselves.

In addition to teaching Yoga, Arjuna is also pursuing an M.D. and M.P.H. at UMDNJ New Jersey Medical School/School of Public Health. He studies Ayurveda under the brilliant tutelage of Dr. Bhaswati Bhattacharya, and Sanskrit as the Path of Luminous Shabda under his Guru, Manorama D’Alvia. He would like to express his boundless gratitude to these great teachers, to his mentor Sheri Celentano, and of course to Betsy for their tireless devotion and willingness to share in his growth. He humbly offers the fruits of his teaching and studies to Manorama Devi. Prem!

Deanna

Deanna celebrates the practice of yoga as a powerful tool for opening the body, mind, and heart, and embracing the True Self. Deanna studied English and Theater at Rutgers University and later went on to study acting and movement at Maggie Flanigan Studio in NYC, where she first recognized the extent of her chronic back and sciatic pain due to scoliosis and back injuries. After exploring many avenues of healing, she finally found yoga at Laughing Lotus, where she began to develop her understanding of our innate ability for healing and transformation. She fell in love with the yoga practices and went on to the Lotus College of Yoga where she graduated from her first training with Alison Cramer and Stacey Brass. After teaching for a few years, she returned to deepen her understanding and training with Laughing Lotus founder, Dana Flynn, and Alison Cramer (thankfully again) who share that teaching is an offering of the heart.

Her classes are infused with passion for the power of yogic philosophy, mantra, alignment of the spine, and the exploration of conscious breath and movement flowing into stillness. She challenges her students to recognize opportunities to watch the mind dance, let go of old patterns, confront comfort zones, and float on the waves of experience that surge along the way.

She is eternally grateful for her meditation teacher, Sri Sri Sri Shivabalogi, her amazing mentor, Betsy Davis, and for the presence of all of her teachers.

Veronica

Veronica has been practicing yoga and its philosophy for more than a decade and teaching for the last five years throughout the NY/NJ metro area. She received her teacher training certification at the beautiful Laughing Lotus Yoga Center where she learned how to open her heart to all of life's possibilities. Her classes are infused with her study of Sanskrit, Ancient Ayurveda and yoga philosophy -- all of which inspires her to share how every moment, every breath, every OM is connected to our beautiful lives. She thanks her teachers Dana Flynn, Jasmine Tarkeshi, Ghandarva Sauls, Sarah Tomlinson and especially Betsy Ma for all they have brought to her life as she continues the journey of life.

Lori K

Lori has flirted with yoga on and off for the past 17 years while competing in running and triathlons. Immediately after retiring from 20 years as an elementary school teacher, she decided it was time to hunker down and take her practice more seriously. Lori has taken weekend studies at Kripalu with Kofi Busia and Schyler Grant as well as a variety of other one-day workshops. She completed her 200-hour YTT at Shakti Body under the tutelage of Deb Kurilla and Anna Winkler and her Kharma Kids TT in 2010. A dedicated Ashtangi, Lori enjoys a vigorous vinyasa class as well as a calming restorative. She enjoys challenging her students to go beyond what their minds believe impossible, keeping it light and playful at the same time. Lori feels honored to be able to help others grow in their life practice, on and off the mat.

Trish

I have been a teacher of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, the yoga of awareness, since 2006. My husband David first found Kundalini and introduced it to me at a time in my life where I was ailing physically and unsure of what my path was meant to be. At my first class I felt like I had gone home. I found peace in my first class. Kundalini is unique that way, in that anyone can benefit from the very first class. It is all about experiencing one's true nature. I was trained as a teacher in New York at Kundalini Yoga East and I consider the training to be one of the most trans formative experiences of my life. It was a journey of self discovery and self mastery. As an RN, I am greatly interested in health and wellness and the science of Kundalini Yoga, which works specifically on the nervous system, the endocrine system, the lymphatic system and of course the cardiovascular system. The meditations that are so integral to the practice center me and strengthen me to deal with my life off the mat.

Liz

Liz is dedicated to body, mind and spiritual health using body awareness and mindfulness based techniques. Her yoga classes, private Phoenix Rising Therapy sessions and Breath & Clarity workshops evolve from these supportive practices and encourage healing on every level. She began practicing Kripalu yoga in 2001, while raising two sons and practicing law, becoming a certified Kripalu yoga teacher and then a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist. In her classes, attention to sensations and breath is used in combination with yoga postures to emphasize awareness of being fully embodied and present in the moment. Each class includes meditation and breathwork as well as traditional postures and relaxation. Liz brings special elements to her teaching and sessions, including trainings and certifications in: Thai massage, yoga for depression, yoga for trauma, Kaula yoga, mindfulness meditation, yoga nidra, Anusara yoga, Sri Vidya and is a student of Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati. She is now completing her 500 hour teacher training, with a concentration on yoga therapeutics at Yoga Loka in Frenchtown, NJ.

Joanna

Joanna discovered the power and beauty of yoga while in college, and has been practicing ever since. She has been fortunate, and eternally grateful, for being able to learn from amazing instructors in West and South Africa, as well the States. While completing her teacher training at Laughing Lotus in NYC, Joanna stumbled upon Bhakti Barn's door. She fell in love with the place - its people & their awesome energy. She began teaching here shortly after! In addition to teaching at Bhakti Barn, Joanna teaches yoga to college students at Rutgers University and Kean University, as she completes her Ph.D. in Global Affairs, with a focus on international education. Joanna is passionate about working with our youth, and ensuring that all have access to a thorough and efficient education. Her current goal is to combine her interest of educating youth and yoga, and teach kids yoga, in addition to her current classes.
Much gratitude to Betsy for being an awesome teacher, role model, companion and friend, as well as Tama Wali for drawing me to yoga, and Bria Tavakoli for helping my practice grow!

In's and Out's

Class Etiquette

1. When making your first visit, please come 10 minutes before class to fill out paperwork.
2. Take note, There are First Timers specials that are only available at the studio at the time of your first visit.
3. Dress comfortably so you can move freely
4. Eat at Least 1 hour or even 2 hours before class, so your body has time to digest
5. Check out the parking info on the studio page- so you will know where to park
6. You may bring your own mat, but know that we have mats, blocks and everything you need to have a great practice.

Feel free to call us or email us with any questions.

1. Try to choose the level of class that is appropriate for you and your practice. IE: Basics, Open Level, Level 2 or Level 2/3. If you are not sure ask your teacher or call/email the studio.
2. If you are a more advanced student taking a less advanced level class, we kindly ask that you respectfully follow the instruction of the teacher and not perform more advanced variations of the poses being offered unless the teacher offers you variations.
3. Hopefully you can partake in the entire class, but if you need to leave class early, please inform the teacher at the beginning of the class. Try to set up near the door so that you can leave before Savasana, which is the final resting pose.
4. If arriving late for a class, we will allow students a 5 minute grace period for the hour classes, and a 10 minute grace period for a longer class. Please respect this and try your best to be on time. Please either wait outside the practice room door until the chanting has ended, or quietly come in and sit down by the door and wait to set up your mat until the chanting is done.
5. We realize that some of you may need to have your cell phones near you at times, to keep communications open with your children. We only ask that you keep the cell phones silent and if you need to take a call, please quietly leave the room and continue your call in the reception area or bathroom.
-Thank you for being a part of the Bhakti Barn community and doing your best to consider the needs of the other students. We want everyone’s experience at Bhakti Barn to be to be one of Joy and Bliss!-

We will also have teachings from experts in all the different aspects of yoga along the way. You will learn about Sanskrit, Ayurveda, Pranayama, the yoga sutras, as well as other topics.

Betsy Davis, Bhakti Barn Yoga Director, and Lauren Magarelli, senior teacher at Laughing Lotus New York, both bring their love and passion for yoga to this teacher training as your primary guides. They will share all their knowledge to help you bring out your own voice as a teacher and allow you to be creative in the way that you want to share this ancient and sacred practice.
