Barbara Lyon teaches gentle, in-studio live yoga classes Thursdays 11-noon and on Zoom on Mon, Tues & Thurs for Seniors, Beginners & Intermediate level. Each week we focus on a topic of interest like Yoga to Improve Balance; Yoga for Anxiety/Insomnia; Yoga for Better Posture; or a body part like Yoga for a stronger core; more open chest & shoulders; or to ease our hips/lower back, but every class has lots of good 'all-over' yoga, too, and breathing exercises. If you cannot attend class, you can purchase a video of the class and do it on your own whenever it's convenient. Come do something wonderful for your body, mind, and spirit, regardless of your age, experience, or flexibility - come to yoga! Barbara has been a teacher since 1995.

I joined Barbara's Come To Yoga class over four years ago at the start of the COVID pandemic via Zoom. I have taken yoga classes with a variety of instructors and Barbara is by far the best and most outstanding yoga instructor all around.
I cannot speak highly enough about her through knowledge of the human body, expertise and ease in following her approach to teaching yoga. Barbara makes her Come to Yoga classes easy to follow. She physically demonstrates each move and verbally walks her students through the process of how to safely enter, set themselve up and hold each move or pose. She offers alternatives to and with taking a pose or executing a move so as not to exacerbate any injuries or feeling of pain.
I feel my bodyβs flexibility, stamina and strength building with every class I have participated in and it feels wonderful!! Thank you Barbara for being there and helping me keep my body in tune and alive!

I've been a student of Barbara's for overy twenty years both in-person and on Zoom. Her classes have a good variety of poses and she pays close attention to student's form with gentle corrections and alternatives if necessary. She has certainly helped to keep me active and healthy. Bill

I have been a yoga student of Barbara Lyon's for many years. Her classes are always great and enjoyable. Each one has a theme and she never seems to run out of ideas. Each class is carefully constructed. Her directions are clear and she always includes modifications. This makes her classes accessible to everybody. I hope to continue with Barbara forever!

I've taken yoga lessons with Barbara on-line. As a senior , I appreciate her patience and understanding in terms of her designing a yoga practice for my age group. She's extremely dedicated to providing answers to our questions and will design yoga activities based on the needs of her students. I highly recommend her as a yoga teacher for students of all ages.

Barbara is my sister, so this may seem biased, but honestly she's the best yoga instructor I've ever had. I've been zooming classes since the pandemic, and they've saved this semi-senior body. She's careful, intelligent, and completely supportive. She has a gift.

Barbara is a very positive, knowledgeable and well organized yoga instructor. Her sessions are well planned and she gives helpful instructions on the various yoga positions and modifications. The studio is comfortable and has all the necessary props. I leave each session feeling physically and mentally refreshed.

Barbara Lyon is a terrific yoga teacher in all the ways that count. I love her class, Gentle Yoga for 55+ and Beginners. Each session focuses on a particular part of the body and/or goal. For example, yoga for a more flexible back was one session. Another focused on the pelvic floor, hamstrings and groins.
She gives easy-to-follow instruction and makes everyone feel welcome.

Iβve been attending Barbara Lyonβs Gentle Yoga for 55+ and Beginners class for approximately 7 years. Her classes have definitely helped me to maintain and improve my overall flexibility, strength, and balance. Her classes are always well planned, thoughtful and well rounded. She is an experienced and knowledgeable instructor with a positive, energetic and encouraging personality. I could not recommend her class any more highly.

Barbara is tremendous! Her classes are wonderful - accommodating to all skill levels, excellent individual instruction, and fun. She has helped me be more flexible while also strengthening targeted areas. Having fun while working out, what could be better.

I think Barbara is amazing. She pulls her yoga practice from all over the map. It's not just about stretching. It's about learning about our bodies. Understanding the bones, the tissues, the nervous systems. And I walk taller. I keep my hips under my shoulders. I protect my tender knees. I stretch my toes. Yeah, I'll work with her for a long time.

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!

Barbara is a wonderful yoga teacher - particular for us older folks who might be a little wary of yoga because of this or that stiffness or disability as she always has alternate ways to achieve a pose or exercise with props that permit us to gain the benefit of that without the risk of injury. I could not recommend her more highly!

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.

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.
