My Yoga journey started 13 years ago with Hatha Yoga and as I continued to practice, my body and mind  craved more of the connection they had started to make. Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Power Yoga and Restorative practices quickly fueled my desire to become a teacher of Yoga.

My certifications and additional course training's have helped me round out the following Yoga Disciplines: Hatha Flow, Power Flow, Power Sculpt, 26 & 2 Hot (105 degrees), Restorative, Gentle Yoga, Children's Yoga and Prenatal Yoga.  

No matter what your level is, and we have two Beginner Gentle Yoga classes each day, it will be honored and respected. The benefits go far beyond the actual motions in the classroom and will positively impact all areas of your life.

I am very proud and excited to bring a full Yoga Studio to Batesville. Over the past 6 years my path has taken me here several times to visit with family, and during each visit I noticed the city growing but holding close to their heart a strong sense of community spirit. To me the fabric of the community is where real life experiences occur and we would like to be woven into Batesville's tapestry.

 I was born and raised in the mountains of southwest Virginia. While attending the College of William and Mary, I obtained my RYT-200 certification from Yoga Alliance in the styles of Hatha, Bikram, and Vinyasa Flow.

In my own practice, yoga has allowed me to explore and repair the connection between my mind and body.

I am passionate about making these benefits accessible to students of all skill levels, and I am especially excited to work with those who are just beginning their yoga journey.

I am originally from Western Pennsylvania but began my yoga journey after moving to Huntington, WV in 2014. I completed my RYT-200 at Brown Dog Yoga in Huntington in 2016.

Yoga has been a wonderful addition to my life and has introduced me to so many new people and new experiences.


Outside of yoga I work full time as a physician assistant. I enjoy traveling, and spending time with my husband and our two golden retrievers. 


I hope to bring the same joy and acceptance I have experienced through yoga to this community.

I have lived in Batesville for 25 years and I am married with two children and two grandchildren.

I have enjoyed learning and growing in my personal practice for the past 15 years.

My sincere love for yoga and the multitude of benefits it offers for my mind ,body and healing has lead me to pursue my goal of teacher training with Yoga-7 to be completed in the fall of 2020.

I am grateful for the opportunity to share my passion with others and watch them grow in their own practice.

My name is Ira Lee Barnett, born and raised in the great state of Arkansas. I am a lover of my kiddos, music, all things vintage, Jesus, and the outdoors.

I am so excited to become a part of the Yoga 7 studio. Having just completed my training I am ready to help the people around Batesville with their practice.

Yoga has quite literally changed my life. I have suffered with clinical depression (along with a laundry list of other mental health conditions) throughout adulthood. The daily struggle to push past all the symptoms of depression has worn me down more times than I can count. However, upon adapting to a yogic lifestyle I am medicine free for the first time in over 2 decades. Through a daily meditation practice, consistent attendance in classes, and a healthier, yogic diet I have been able to transform my life. The effects are truly unreal!

My hope as a teacher is to share the progress I’ve made and the tools I’ve learned.

Yoga is said to be over 5000 years old, there is a reason it is still practiced worldwide, it works!

The power we posses is real, we just have to learn how to unlock it to our full potential. We are better than accepting what life has dealt us, we are stronger than we know, we are more than what our mind tells us, we aren’t too stiff, too old, too heavy, too anything to reap the benefits this philosophy has to offer. We are exactly where we need to be.

It would be an honor to teach a class for you. Let yoga 7 help you in your journey to true health and happiness.

​Love and blessings, namaste.

I am from Newport, Arkansas where I was born and raised! I am eighteen, fresh out of high school, and currently in college! The sky's the limit for me as I fill my life with positive energy through my hobbies.

I am so excited to be teaching at Yoga- 7! I recently completed my training with the RYT 200 hour program through the studio. Yoga has opened my eyes up to an entirely new way of life through health and happiness. From meditation to a hot class, my body has learned to adapt and welcome it all! I am so excited to be teaching at the Yoga- 7 studio!

I want nothing more than to share the yogic life on the mat with my students!

Yoga has changed my life and through teaching I hope to do the same for my students! The yogic lifestyle is sure to follow you on and off the mat in the way you need it most personally!

Namaste,

My yoga journey began about 2 years ago after the birth of my second child. I was searching for something to help get my body into shape but what I found was something so much deeper, and caught me by complete surprise. 

The first time I practiced yoga I felt an immediate connection with my mind, body, and spirit. I knew I had found something I was passionate about. When I decided to take the Yoga Teacher Training I had only been practicing about a year. My intention was to develop a deeper relationship with yoga and deepen my own practice, but again I was taken by surprise when I learned that I am passionate about teaching yoga.

Since starting my yoga journey, I have grown exponentially as a person, overcome many obstacles within myself, developed a more kind and loving relationship with myself, and connected to a deeper, more meaningful purpose in life. 

I obtained my YTT-200 hour certification this year and am very excited to be offering my services here at Yoga-7 of Batesville.

​ My goal as a teacher is to guide my students on their own yoga journey. My hope is that my students discover the power and universal truth that we all hold within ourselves, and to help students manifest that power in their day to day lives. 
 
Hope to see you in class!
Namaste
