She is sometimes called Babushka (another word for Grandma) Yaga
Babushka - BA-bush-kuh (BA with a long "a" as in father, bush as in president Bush, ka with a short "a" as in mama)
BA-ba (short a's as in mama)
YA-ga (again short a's)

Excuse me, one small correction: The stress is BA-ba ya-GA, as far as I know. (Heard it from my Russian lecturer who is Russian herself).
it's "kuh" in the end not "ka"
