	Barbara Fergusson
	placeholder
	placeholder	Barbara Fergusson supports and empowers her students with her relaxed, knowledgeable leadership in the classrrom. Her teaching approach honors the individuality of each student, and endows them with the ability to recognize good alignment and find a correct sense of ease within each pose. Her goal is to teach students to tune into their own individual reaction to each pose, and see their practice as a series of lessons that can be applied both on the mat and in the world. A master teacher who has inspired several of her students to become teachers, Barbara began teaching yoga in 1980. She and fellow Yoga Room graduate Todd Jackson opened Portland Yoga Arts in 2002.

	Mindy Coolidge
	placeholder
	placeholder	Mindy Coolidge’s first yoga love was Vinyasa flow. She moved to Iyengar yoga from a desire to focus more on alignment in each pose, to employ props to bring more of the poses to life. Personal experience has solidified her belief in the power of yoga to help us move beyond our fears and take an active role in our physical and emotional wellbeing. Mindy’s classes cultivate a similar trust in the practice, emphasizing proper foundation and intentional movement.
