The Yoga Barn

Jenny is a Joy and you cant beat the heat. Thank you!

The Yoga Barn is the perfect place to practice yoga and meditation. The sense of peace you feel looking out over the fields is part of the experience. The warmth in the barn from the infrared panels and heated floors envelops you. The Yoga Barn is a 100 year old renovated barn located in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia surrounded by farm land. Jenny, the owner and yoga instructor, has the perfect tone and cadence in her voice and the ability to describe the poses and keep you in the moment. She is an excellent yoga instructor. She offers classes for beginners, vinyasa flow(begins and ends with yin stretches), hot yoga and yin(extended stretch poses). All great for flexibility, circulation, balance and strength not to mention your mental well being. Once a month she offers yoga Nidra (sleep yoga is what I call it). It’s value is immense to anyone with sleep issues or for example, a new parent! I believe that 10min of nidra = to about 4 hours regular sleep. She also offers instructor courses at the barn. It’s a unique and wonderful experience if you can join a class.

Cheryl’s Wednesday morning Yin class is very inclusive and informative, I have have found it suitable as a beginner.I would highly recommend for a newbie or an experienced yogi!

The Power Flow session led by Jenny was challenging, but great. The facility is great, the atmosphere very comfortable, and Jenny leads the practice with a great yoga coaching style. The session was physically and mentally challenging, but with her coaching philosophy you feel comfortable and supported to do what is right for you and your body. I liked how she focused on how every pose and modification was our choice, and how she reinforced that we were in control of our practice, with her guidance. Thanks Jenny!

Great time. Instructor pushed me when necessary.
