Meet Barbara Dopfer – a yoga teacher and almost-certified Daring to Rest facilitator in the south of Germany. In this eleven-minute episode, you'll learn about Barbara's love story with yoga nidra and why she now teaches it.
Before teaching yoga and yoga nidra, Barbara was always in male-dominated professions: a landscape architect and even a stone mason. But by 2014 she began to "feel like an alien" in this environment and a soft voice said, "This isn't my home anymore."
As you know, changing one's story is not easy. In Barbara's case, her parents were happy that she I had a good job and she had a big company car. All the things society respects were there, but she felt empty.
Listen to this episode, to learn how she got the courage to take off the happy and strong mask she was wearing to everyone else, and put on her vulnerability mask, start a yoga business and now yoga nidra business, and stop trying to prove anything to everyone else.
As Barbara says, "My yoga practice is growing in a direction I never expected. I'm offering my fourth 40-day Daring to Rest program and the results are astounding.
"Daring to Rest helped me speak my truth to a much bigger audience and I feel that this is just the beginning."
