Barbara Orrego

Barbara is originally from Chile, working as a physiotherapist with a strong passion for skiing. In 2015 Barbara moved to Auckland.

The first time she stepped on a mat was in her early 20s, with the intention of getting the physical benefits, to stay healthy, to perform her work and her sports.

In 2014 she did her first Bikram Yoga class and the sequence really made sense to her, experiencing amazing physical and mental benefits, she was very surprised by its physical healing effects, so she started practicing daily.

After moving to NZ she decided to go to Bikram Yoga Teacher Training 2017 with Bikram Choudbury. She started teaching in Auckland and soon after decided to teach full-time.

Barbara is also a passionate Ashtangi. She integrates her knowledge as physiotherapist with emphasis in alignment, enriching her passion through daily practice and study of yoga, teaching the 26 and 2 sequence weekly.
