Ubud- Bali Retreat with Ann Barros
14 – 20 Nov 2005
Ann Barros is a senior Iyengar yoga instructor with over 28 years teaching experience, including 5 years at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and over 35 successful Yoga In Bali tours. She has led inspiring workshops both domestically in California and Colorado, and internationally in Jamaica, Greece and Mexico, as well as her beloved Bali, which has become her second home. Ann first studied with BKS Iyengar in India in 1976 who personally guided her into curing her own scoliosis. Through this personal tutelage with BKS Iyengar, Ann began her exploration into the curative effect of asana for scoliosis, joint injuries and various organic concerns. She is certified by the Iyengar Yoga Institute of S.F. since 1980, and later that year after studying again in India, first came to Bali. She continues her advanced practice inspired by long-term study with Ramanand Patel since 1977.

Ann gratefully acknowledges her teacher, Shri BKS Iyengar. Ann has led successful Yoga in Bali tours continuously since 1985.
