Jacquie Barbee came to yoga as a way to heal past trauma and make peace with her own body after years of disordered eating and chronic illness. As she deepened her practice she found there was a need for yoga teachers that looked like her and who understood how to do yoga in a larger body with limitations. Jacquie who has been known as Sunny since she was born, teaches from a perspective that any body can do yoga and that we needn’t force our body into a pose but rather find the variation of the pose that fits the body whether it is on the mat, chair, or bed. Her goal is to help you find a way to use yoga as a vehicle of transformation -physically, mentally, and emotionally. Jacquie is currently a E-RYT200 Yoga Teacher with certifications in Yoga For All and Accessible Yoga. You can find her on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook as SunnyBee Yoga and her website is SunnyBeeYoga.net. She posts regular videos on her social media for brief practices mostly in a chair helping to bring accessible yoga to all. She works mostly with students who are new to yoga, and those you are older; have disabilities; and don’t have what is perceived to be the “stereotypical yoga body”. She loves to go to the beach, camp, and hike, and ride bike with her family whom you will often see in her family yoga videos.
