The owner of Body-Benefits is well known, not just in her local community, but throughout the United States as one of the premeir instructors in America. She was voted "Best Yoga Instructor" for 2007 in the Jackson Free Press in Jackson, Mississippi.

Having been in the fitness industry since 1988, starting out as a Group Exercise and Aqua Aerobics Instructor, but very soon adding Certified Personal Trainer under her belt, Barbara Nobles has taught just about every group exercise class out there and has had the great pleasure of working with some of the best clients ever. Realizing that if she wanted to continue at her current pace she would have to add something to eliminate the muscular imbalances that she was creating in her body. She began looking for a kinder form of activity to add to her repertoire and began practicing Yoga as a student in 1998. Soon she felt the desire to share her new found joy with others and attended her first YogaFit Teacher Training in 1999 and immediately knew that she had found the style that fit with her extensive background in fitness.

Born and raised in South Mississippi, Barbara was thrilled to be able to return to the State after her husbands naval duties had given them the wonderful opportunity to see and live in many great States. Upon returning to Jackson, MS, Barbara spent many fabulous years working as a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer at a local fitness facility.

In 2003 Barbara decided to turn her lifelong vision into a reality and Body Benefits, an exclusive fitness studio, opened for business. In addition to being the sole owner of Body Benefits, Barbara also travels the globe conducting Teacher Trainings for YogaFit Training Systems Worldwide, which is based in California and offers both a 200 hour and 500 hour registered yoga teacher program approved by Yoga Alliance.

When not at work Barbara loves spending time at home with her Husband since 1988, Mark and their standard poodle, Toebear. As certified scuba divers, vacations always involve tropical locations with diving opportunities.
