Profile

Barbara Morsa holds a B.A. in Philosophy from Drew University and a J.D. from The University of Dayton School of Law. She is a former litigation attorney with experience in private practice, corporate, and government practice. In her corporate law career, she was Senior Counsel for National Product Services, where she managed litigation throughout the continental U.S. She was appointed as an Assistant Attorney General in Civil Rights and served as an AAG for seven years before taking time off from full-time legal practice to raise a family.

Barb is now a full-time yoga and meditation teacher as well as a studio founder (Indigo Yoga), and yoga teacher trainer. She is the former Director of the Teacher Training program at Indigo Yoga, and she has trained numerous teachers over the years. She teaches workshops and in teacher trainings nationally and is certified at the E-RYT500 level and as a continuing education provider through Yoga Alliance (YACEP). Barb is passionate about travel and regularly leads yoga and wellness retreats nationally and internationally through her wellness company, The Morsa Method, LLC. www.morsamethod.com.

Like many yoga teachers, Barb was drawn to yoga many times before developing a dedicated practice. She began her yoga journey after being introduced to meditation in high school. The experience of profound joy and peace, she realized, was the experience of her own soul and it launched a lifetime’s journey into Eastern philosophy and yoga.

In law school and again as a young attorney and mother, Barb found that her yoga practice kept her grounded during life’s inevitable challenges. With continued practice, she saw that yoga was transforming her life in both simple and profound ways, eventually inspiring her to retire from legal practice for the full time practice of yoga and the founding of Indigo Yoga and The Morsa Method.

A perpetual and devoted student, Barb continues to study with many national and international teachers. She has studied extensively in the area of Restorative Yoga with her Iyengar yoga teachers and the Urban Zen Integrative Therapy faculty. She recently completed a functional nutrition certification and is also a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor.

Barb is truly passionate about yoga as a tool for active compassion, self-care, and deep healing on all levels. She brings humor, compassion and wisdom to all of her heart-centered practices. Both in her teaching and in life, she considers it an honor and her true dharma to help others remember their True Self through direct experience of body, mind and soul.
