Barbara – Yoga Teacher

Before yoga, there was the stage. Barbara Dawson spent years as a professional dancer, performing alongside major entertainers including Sinatra, Cher and Sammy Davis Jr. across France and Monaco, a career of discipline, precision and grace that never really left her.

Thirty years ago, she found yoga, and it became her second stage. At Sanctum 7, that stage is the Earnscleugh Castle Ballroom, where her morning sessions offer guests a rhythmic, graceful start to each day, movement shaped by decades of performance experience rather than routine instruction.

Guests join Barbara as much or as little as they choose. Nothing on the Sanctum 7 programme is compulsory, and her sessions are there for whoever wants that quiet, grounded beginning to the morning.
