Anita is a wonderful instructor with a deep knowledge of yoga anatomy. Her instructions are detailed and she provides numerous modifications for poses depending on your body, skill or comfort level. I've been taking her classes online for a year and I've learned a lot. Will look forward to in-person classes, but will continue to love the online version! Hilary Boucher - Bloomfield, Ontario.

Dear Anita,

It’s been 13 months since I joined your yoga class, thanks to a silent auction item you donated to the Wellington Rotary Auction! I have only missed a few classes during the past year due to extenuating circumstances!

I look forward to each Saturday morning. Your guidance and instructions make the sessions flow. You provide various levels of difficulty for positions so we can choose how far to push that day. Your constant reminding to breathe deeply and relax our faces and shoulders is so helpful. Your patience of getting us back on track if our mind wanders is very thoughtful. The variety of positions and sequences you lead us through makes each class different with an element of anticipation.  "Your anatomical explanations are very interesting and instructive."

Thank goodness for Zoom during this pandemic era of our lives. I am delighted to hear that you will continue the on-line Zoom classes. Count me in!

I am happy to encourage any potential participant you may have to join your class. Mary Brebner - Wellington, Ontario 

Anita’s classes are awesome. County Yoga Loft’s online sessions allow me to join from the comfort of my home. I have a stressful job and never realized how much tension I store in my body until I felt sweet release from Anita’s yoga sessions. I am new to yoga, in my late 50’s so Anita’s down-to-earth and gentle approach has made yoga accessible to me. Liz Bosna-Donovan - Picton, Onario

I’ve had the pleasure of Anita’s live classes as well as the more recent zoom, classes for almost ten years. Always, her practices are kind, thoughtful, thorough, and totally satisfying.  I know from experience how aware and considerate she is of her student’s comfort, and levels and flexibility. She provides encouragement often, and modifications when necessary. Even on the small screen she offers gentle suggestions, and keeps the classes relaxing and fun. Everyone is welcome. On a personal level I’d like to also add that Anita herself embodies that true spirit of yoga. When I went through a crummy year, she kindly offered yoga, or massage at no charge.  She’s also extremely generous with her knowledge, her students, and with the community. Anita’s a really good teacher, and it’s such an enjoyable class! Janet MacLeod - Toronto, Ontario

Still the best Yoga Teacher and Healer, Anita has always made yoga enjoyable healing and fun. Her space is intimate and comfy like a blanket! Five stars!!!!! Louisa Carter - Edmonton, Alberta

Anita is a wonderful teacher and brings years of experience and thoughtful options for new, experienced students and everyone in between! She offers a peaceful, serene and wholistic practice via zoom in the comfort of your own home.

After many years of attending Anita’s Leslieville Yoga practice in Toronto, I was so happy to hear she was continuing her practice via Zoom due to the pandemic once she moved to her County Yoga Loft! 🙏 Hilary Scott - Toronto, Ontario

Anita is an excellent, experienced yoga teacher. She expertly guides us through the various postures, gives helpful suggestions on variations for those who need them and explains the benefits of postures, all in a calm, warm manner (via Zoom for now). Wiga Stead - Ottawa, Ontario

Anita has a warm, competent and practical manner that is very encouraging for me as a newcomer to yoga  and as an older woman.   Her knowledge, experience, and quietly confident manner has  brought confidence and enthusiasm to me as I start my  journey into the world of yoga. Sally from Picton, Ontario

Best thing Ive done for myself in a long time. Anita’s classes are amazing. I love them and look forward to new challenges each class The zoom classes allows me to do them in the comfort of home. Kathy Morgan - Ottawa, Ontario.

I have been enjoying both the beginner and intermediate Zoom yoga classes, with Anita Barnes at County Yoga Loft since May, 2020. Anita instructs to a variety of client needs always showing modifications to address individual comfort levels/ needs while keeping us challenged to reach full expression of postures. I like that she tells us how each posture targets specific areas and how to protect ourselves from over stretching.  I notice myself becoming stronger, more flexible and less stiff! Yoga with Anita et al has also had positive impact on my well being particularly during these challenging times. Thanks Anita! Fran Schafer - Toronto, Ontario

These yoga classes have saved me! Being able to take these classes on Zoom from my home allows me to attend all of Anita's classes. Slow and Steady wins the race. Anita's expertise and support has helped me focus and attain more flexibility, strength and balance. Anita has the experience and gives me the support to reach my goals. Margaret DelColle - Philadelphia, PA, USA

When I first moved to the city I was so lucky to find Anita and her yoga studio. Anita taught classes in her basement studio. It was intimate, supportive, and always felt like home to me. She offered tea on arrival and took only a few students, making sure all students got the attention they needed.

Thanks to Anita I fell in love with Sivananda style yoga and eventually became an instructor myself.

Anita now has a beautiful studio in Prince Edward County and is offering classes online - check her out. Anita is a patient and mindful teacher, making sure each of her students understand the postures and offers lots of variations and options.  Thank you for all the support and encouragement Anita, I am so grateful I found your classes! Jenn Ooysten - Toronto, Ontario

COVID-19 restrictions and stress led me to search for something I could do for self-care and stress. Zoom yoga seemed a good thing to try. I was brand new to yoga, and totally enjoy and benefit from Anita's classes. She is gentle, non-judgemental and fun. Try it, you will like it! Josie d’Avernas - Kitchener, Ontario

Great classes,  great teacher and instructor. Love the classes.  I always feel better after attending a class with Anita as my teacher. Leslie Codsi - Toronto, Ontario
