HINT: How to stop sniffles or a runny nose with 2 simple pressure-point massage movements. Movement #1: Take your 2 pointer (index) fingers and place the tips halfway up your outer nostrils, feel for the short little bones, place your fingertips on the tips of those bones and point fingers up toward your eyes.
Fall 2020: I was back in yoga school again, this time earning certification as a Yoga Wellness Educator. I chose this program because one of the organizers/ instructors is Tom Myers, my 'fascia guru' (he wrote Anatomy Trains), and this course has an important fascia (connective tissue) element.
I am very interested in using yoga to reawaken and hydrate our fascia to help ease chronic pain and create a feeling of freedom; it was extremely helpful in alleviating my own knee pain from a torn meniscus and eventually I was able to sleep through the night, walk down stairs, ride a bike, and even swing dance all without pain.

Barbara is my new favorite yoga instructor! I am so glad I have finally found a good virtual class. She makes it easy to log in to class, and her classes are good for all levels, interesting, fun, and always with something new. I highly recommend Barbara and her yoga classes to anyone looking for quality yoga. Thank you Barbara!

I highly recommend Barbara Lyon and the +55 class at Come to Yoga. Having attended many classes in Boston/Cambridge area yoga studios over the years (decades), I am so happy to have discovered Barbara and the +55 class. The program is a great fit regarding pace, level and comfort. Barbara uses her expertise and experience to teach yoga that is accessible, active and satisfying in a safe, inclusive and caring environment. It is a great and healthy pleasure to practice yoga with Barbara at Come to Yoga.

Amazing classes. I thought I was too stiff to do yoga but I really needed something to help me loosen up. Barbara eased me into it and I'm doing pretty well, more flexible than i thought I could be. She's personable and funny and knows a bunch of different ways to help you go into a pose using props if you need them. Highly recommend.

Excellent instruction. I have really come to value Barbara's teaching, especially after receiving instruction from other people who are not as skilled. I would highly recommend her, especially to anyone who is new to yoga. She is also very aware of each students particular trouble points and makes an effort to adjust her class on the fly to fit everyone's needs. Really so great.
