Yoga Educator, Author & Artist
Born in Paris, France, in 1967, Barbara Courtille is a Yoga Educator, Author, and Artist currently residing on Cammeraygal land in Sydney, Australia. Even though her yoga journey began in the late 1980s, it was in 2010 that a brief yet profound experience of samadhi transformed her practice, propelling her from decades of postural yoga to a newfound sense of peace discovered through meditative practices.
​
Motivated by this transformative encounter, Barbara sought guidance in meditation, philosophy, and devotional practices, unearthing a deeper connection to the spiritual dimensions of yoga.

Barbara continues to enhance her spiritual connection through dedicated study and practice. Exploring yoga philosophy informs the support she offers to aspiring yoga teachers, dedicating herself wholeheartedly with devotion and kindness.
