About Barbara

Barbara is a registered yoga teacher who is passionate about helping women find balance and harmony in their lives through a more feminine yoga practice and trained under Ana Davis of Bliss Baby (Byron Bay) in Women’s Yoga and is certified in Restorative Yoga (Lizzie Lasater and Judith Hanson Lasater).

Barbara teaches yoga in schools as part of wellbeing programs, after school yoga classes, and school holiday workshops, as well as specialised yoga classes for corporates “Bring your child to work days”.

Barbara has blended her interest in yoga for women and children, by developing the unique “Moments to Cherish” Mother and Daughter yoga workshops. These workshops are designed for mothers with tween to teenage daughters to honour and celebrate the parallel rites of passage that each go through emotionally and physically. They encourage a bridge of communication and support between mothers and daughters, and provide a safe place to be more compassionate with yourself and each other. These workshops are run throughout the year at One Heart Studio. To find out more about Barbara’s offerings, please visit:

This is your invitation to gift yourself the time to Replenish - An Urban Retreat. Specially designed for you to replenish your energy levels through gentle Yoga practices which support the feminine body on a physical and emotional level and focus on self-compassion and self-care practices. You will be invited to experience the benefits of longer Restorative Yoga poses interweaved with meditations providing you the space and support to rest deeply and re-set and replenish your nervous system. The retreat includes a guided tea workshop, ceremony and guided meditation by Naturopath, Caitlin Graham Jones. You will learn the principles behind creating a healing tea blend that is uniquely for you, which you will blend on the day and take home to become part your self-care practice.  Replenish - An Urban Retreat is a collaboration forged through friendship, understanding, and sharing of knowledge and wisdom by Naturopath and Counsellor, Caitlin Graham Jones and Yoga teacher Barbara Fitzpatrick-Haddy of Shamanaka Yoga. It came into being over the past two years of regular walks in nature with gentle and curious conversations. Reflecting on the question of what will women be seeking for self, post lockdowns to support and sustain themselves during this re-emergence into busyness and navigating times of change. We asked ourselves this question, what are we craving and needing, and Replenish was born and nurtured.  There is a call to nurture and nourish self, to embrace rest and to value the importance of your own self-care. Our self-care is not a selfish act, but rather is strongly based within the roots of community care. Ensuring we have the energy to follow our path, do what we love and supports others, while respecting and honouring our energy levels rather than exhaust our own precious resources and self.
