Rebecca Bara

Trainer Bio

Rebecca Horsley Bara is the owner and founder of Baptiste Power Yoga Silicon Valley (BPYSV). BPYSV opened in Palo Alto, CA in February of 2019. Rebecca attended her first Baptiste Yoga training (level 1) in 2004 and then attended Baptiste Yoga Level 2 training in 2006. As the studio where Rebecca taught after her 2006 Baptiste training was not a Baptiste affiliated studio and she had no Baptiste community or support, she spent the next 10 years exploring other types of yoga, meditation and spiritual quests. During that search she decided to open her own studio, a non Baptiste studio, Vibe Yoga. Three years into owning her studio, Rebecca felt disillusioned, burned out and stressed out. It was then she decided to go back to her roots, where she felt most alive at a yoga training and attended a Baptiste Level 3 training Program. It was at this program that Rebecca was reminded why she loved yoga so much in the first place. She felt reinvigorated and excited to spread Baptiste yoga to her community and be part of an amazing community of Baptiste yogi’s. She made the bold decision to close her studio and 4 months later opened BPYSV in her home town of Palo Alto, CA.
Rebecca felt strongly about bringing this powerful, life changing style of yoga to her community and has seen first hand the impact Baptiste yoga has on transforming lives. She is now dedicated to her mission of spreading Baptiste yoga to Silicon Valley and the world.

Rebecca has been teaching yoga for over 20 years. She is a Tier 3 Certified Baptiste Power Yoga Influencer, a two time graduate of the Baptiste FIT to Lead program. Rebecca is also a Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500 hour certified yoga teacher. Rebecca runs 200 and 500 hour teacher trainings, various workshops and international yoga retreats.
When not running the yoga studio, she is busy with her 4 children and her husband. Rebecca loves to travel, read and is always a student.
