Barre Harmony

Being very interested in what is on the inside: the things that are subtle and unseen, this is the emphasis on my teaching style.  There is nothing extraordinary required to do yoga. Just come, open your mind, it may not be what you are thinking.  When you see that I am an everyday woman, I hope you will be at ease.  Seeing that many disciplines can be spiritual practices, my journey with yoga has been a 20+ year adventure. I love to create my own eco-conscious products to bridge the Science of Aromatherapy with the Science of the Mind and Body. May I get to see you on your mat, Namaste!

In 2011 my husband gifted me with a 2 week unlimited yoga certificate for my birthday because I had expressed interest in trying a new workout. Although I began yoga for the physical benefits, it wasn't long before I began to notice other benefits that went beyond a typical workout.  My wonderful yoga teachers helped me learn to become more compassionate to myself, to be grateful for my body in a way that I way that I had never been before, and to appreciate and utilize my strengths.  I began to notice a new ability to breath and find peace in stressful situations both on an off my yoga mat. As a yoga teacher, it is my hope to share the benefits of yoga with those in my class whether the goal is improved fitness, stress relief or personal growth. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you in class!

Tanya fell in love with Barre in the classroom as a student!  After taking Barre classes herself and seeing the results of a newer stronger physique through the discipline- Tanya realized she wanted to pursue teaching. Tanya certified in 2008 and has taught Barre in NYC until 2016 when she relocated back to STL.  Tanya’s focus is on proper alignment and form. Moving is great- but moving with precision is better!

Kathi opened up Barre Harmony in December in 2017. Along with the help of her family and friends, Kathi was able to make her dream a reality. Kathi has always dreamed of owning her own yoga studio, and when she found barre, she knew the two would go hand in hand. She achieved her dream by bringing a yoga and barre studio to her hometown where the two were not well known and has luckily had a great response fro you all! She has had so much love and support and couldn't be more greatful!

Last year Kathi earned her ROYT 200Hour Vinyasa certification and 260Hour Hatha certification. She is also certified as a barre instructor. Kathi runs our YogaFlow classes and our Harmony classes, in which she came up with so that she may share her passion for both barre and yoga in one 60 minute workout class.

Hey, I'm Shelby! I helped open Barre Harmony with my step mother Kathi and father Larry, and I could not be any happier about that! I truly do have the “Dream Job”! Everyday I get to come to this amazing studio, talk to all my clients, instruct barre classes and make tons of new friendships. This has been a dream turned reality for me. I always dreamed of having a place that I looked forward to working at everyday, where I loved my people, and my people loved me, Barre Harmony is that! I have been teaching barre since 2017. I love instructing my clients through my full body, low impact workouts to fun music and awesome choreography. All of my classes are geared for all levels. Come join me at the barre and let's have some fun together!
