Barrett Thrasher Blackburn
Running mile after mile through the streets of Atlanta, trekking throughneighborhood after neighborhood in the warm southern sun, Barrett couldn’thelp but fall in love with the city and all it has to offer. Running was herfirst passion, helping her create a quiet mind, but a tight body.

In 2011, Barrett was introduced to hatha yoga and attended her first classwith her good friend and local tattoo artist Kurt Fagerland. She was hooked!Through regular yoga practice, Barrett learned the transformative powers ofyoga, both for the body and overall wellbeing.

Barrett loves asana, loves feeling the fire! But on her mat she also discovered the beauty of breath, meditation, stillness, self-love,forgiveness, and most of all, patience (which still slips both on and off themat). Finding balance on the mat both mentally and physically is where thegoodies rest. Helping guide others to those sweet spots are what bring herlove and light. “We are all just walking each other home.” – Ram Dass

Barrett is currently studying under Neda Draupadi Honarvar at Tough LoveYoga, completing her RYT 200. When off her mat, Barrett can be foundslinging burgers and brews at FB or gallivanting through the city with herhandsome bearded husband and their German Shepherd babies … FeroMaxx, Tora, and Lena.
