Emily Barczak had her first yoga class with Kim Manfredi over 9 years ago, while recovering from knee surgery. At the time, Emily was simply searching for good workout without jeopardizing her recovery. Since that first class, Emily’s yoga practice has evolved into a means to cultivate balance and health in her life—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Emily believes that yoga’s recognition of the union of all parts of the self can make yoga accessible to anyone and beneficial to everyone. Whether training for athletic interests like cycling, climbing, and horseback riding or navigating major life changes such as having children and career transitions or just normal day-to-day life, the yogic path leads to peace, gratitude, contentment, and a connection to who we are beyond roles, responsibilities, expectations, and all that we have to do. Emily teaches an energetic class intended to build strength and increase flexibility with an emphasis on core conditioning. Emily also includes a few restorative poses to promote healing and rest — necessary and often overlooked components to physical fitness and overall health. Emily holds a Master’s in Psychology. She completed her 200 hour training with Kim Manfredi and completed her 500 hour training in December of 2012, complements of Charm City Yoga.

Todd Bauer began his Personal Training career over 8 years ago out of Salisbury University, where he received a B.S. in Exercise Science.

Over the years, Todd has studied many different disciplines of exercise, including yoga, pilates, kick- boxing, cycling, and sports specific training. Through these teachings, Todd infuses the traditional and innovative, pushing clients mentally and physically to his/her personal limits in order to achieve the mind, body, and lifestyle far beyond his/her expectations.

“I have to admit I was skeptical that I would see any change, but much to my surprise and delight, I did. I thought the program was very well organized and the exercises great. The format was good as well: the jump start weekend and then the twice a week workouts with unlimited yoga in between. I would definitely sign up again”

“I exercise a lot on my own, but I definitely felt a huge difference with the program – it kicked up the intensity more than a few notches.”

“I really liked the combination of the yoga with the cardio training. In the short time, I felt that I was starting to see some different results than I have with just the yoga and my own cardio”

“This was a great way to jump start my exercise program and see how much a lot of hard work in a few short weeks can really make a difference in the way you feel and look.”

“It was so motivating to be part of this group, Kim and Todd really helped me follow and achieve my goals!”
