Millie Barnard

Millie Barnard is a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher with a background in movement, fitness, and wellness. Her approach to yoga centers around the belief that yoga is for every body, and that our practice should meet us where we are rather than asking us to fit into a particular pose, ability, or expectation.

Millie’s classes encourage curiosity, offering options and variations that allow students to explore movement, build strength and mobility, and develop a deeper connection with themselves. She believes yoga can be both a physical practice and an opportunity for personal and spiritual growth. Her teaching welcomes people from all walks of life and faith, creating space for each person to explore what that deeper connection means to them.

At the heart of her teaching is a desire to help people discover new ways to grow and flourish—on the mat and beyond it. She hopes students leave class feeling more connected to their bodies, more confident in their own practice, and reminded that there is a place for them in yoga exactly as they are.
