What was the journey that led you to your current position?
I’ve always enjoyed making things and learned to make jewelry. Opening the shop was the perfect progression from selling jewelry at festivals to showcasing my collection and supporting local and regional artists.

The Yoga Barre, a boutique lifestyle studio that blends the practices of yoga and barre, was founded June 2017 through Sandi Anderson’s love and passion for health and fitness and helping others.
Sandi attended her first yoga
class hoping to help heal previous injuries. While her initial interest was practical, she was not expecting to fall in love with yoga as she did. She became intrigued by the art and history of yoga and began studying the practice more, which led to her enrollment in yoga teacher training at River Rock Yoga.
At that time, Sandi did not plan
to teach yoga. Her motivation for training was simply for personal growth. However, teaching entered her life upon completion of yoga training and becoming a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance.
Sandi discovered barre in an effort to incorporate diversity into her fitness routine. After much research and attending many barre classes throughout the U.S., she found Barre Intensity and connected with it. Realizing she wanted to attend Barre Intensity training, she dove into the barre method and soon wanted to share her newfound passion with others. She completed Barre Intensity training under master trainer, Stephanie Lyons, and became a certified Barre Intensity instructor.
Sandi is beyond grateful to have the opportunity to teach yoga and Barre Intensity and share her love and passion for both practices with others in the welcoming and nurturing environment she has created at The Yoga Barre.
