ABOUT TARA

Tara is a research and data analyst who works in the thriving and creative industry of TV & Media production. She has always been an advocate of workplace wellness and has incorporated mindfulness teachings and exercises in all the teams she’s worked with in her career. 

Her path to yoga was an unexpected one for her. She came to yoga after a knee injury while training for a marathon and decided to give it a go at a local studio. She was apprehensive about going for fear that she wouldn’t fit in. After all, most yogis she knew didn’t have the same body type. She walked away from class with crazy Savasana hair and a new love in her life. It soon became a foundational part of her exercise routine as she explored the magnitude of teachings the practice can give us. She believes that to do yoga doesn't mean you have to be able to touch your toes or stand on your head. It is mostly a mental practice about keeping the mind clear and moving the body in ways that will make it more efficient for every day.

TARA'S YOGA TEACHING

Everyone's body is different and her classes celebrate this as she guides students to look for ways to move and breathe freely. She encourages students to balance between being kind to themselves and challenging them to develop further in a playful, safe, and relaxed atmosphere. Tara gives confidence to her class by pursuing freedom from rigid asana and emboldens us to feel the movements and find the best modifications for our bodies. She absolutely loves to put together a bangin’ playlist to get the class warmed up and having a great time - or using music to calm the mind and soften the mood as students relax into deeper postures. 

While physical practice is fun for her, she is drawn to meditation and everyday mindfulness techniques that can offer grounding through stress and trauma as well as in our day-to-day interactions so she will be sharing these throughout her classes. 

She says that creativity is in her blood as women in her family have the need to make and pick up a project weekly, if not daily! She likes to use crafts to aid the mind in relaxation and a sense of achievement and creates workshops that bring together the skills from her passions and daily mindfulness.
