Teacher in Residence: Barbara Fretes — Memorial Day Weekend & Summer 2026

This Memorial Day Weekend, WAVE welcomes Barbara Fretes, 500-hour E-RYT, for a special guest residency featuring three unique class experiences.

Born in Buenos Aires and trained in the arts from an early age, Barbara brings a refined, deeply embodied presence to her teaching. A dedicated student of yoga since 2015, she has trained extensively in Anuttara Vinyasa, Haṭha, Rāja, and Bhakti Yoga under the guidance of Philip Christodoulou, within the lineage of Kriya Yoga and Self-Realization.

Her approach is both devotional and grounded—integrating asana, breathwork, philosophy, and meditation into a practice that invites clarity, connection, and inner transformation. Each class is designed to meet you where you are, while offering a deeper layer of awareness and intention.

Barbara is also the founder of Shruti Yoga Shala, where she leads 200-hour Vinyasa Teacher Trainings rooted in traditional teachings and modern application.

Join us for this limited-time residency and experience a practice that is both rooted in tradition and deeply felt.
