Testimonials

I learned more than I expected to – not only about the practice of yoga, its roots and principles – but also new ways (to me) of being in my life. Learning to do yoga poses and to lead classes are just a couple pieces of a much bigger, richer and life-changing pie… If you are drawn to the deeper concepts and offerings of yoga, and you also appreciate learning to make yoga relevant in our contemporary American lives, this program is for you!
Yoga Teacher Training not only prepared me to lead others in the practice of yoga, but it also opened my mind to new ways of seeing – and my heart to new ways of experiencing – virtually everything else in my life.

I deeply appreciate the unique nature and personality of this yoga studio and was clear from the beginning that these are the teachers I wanted to train with. They are not only experienced and knowledgeable, but – more importantly – they make the practice of yoga relevant in our fast-paced contemporary lives through their thoughtful, creative and supportive application of yoga principles.

Tara’s focused approach to teaching with honesty, compassion, variety… With a keen eye for seeing how each pose can be adapted to different body types and suggesting various versions of a pose, Tara has a unique ability to impart her vast knowledge and passion for yoga to her students.

Charles Gravitz2018 graduate

Participating in Yoga Teacher Training was one of the most incredible experiences. Tara expertly shared her wisdom and as a result, my knowledge and appreciation of this ancient practice has deepened exponentially. The community of yogis we created will remain with me forever. I know that I have become a part of an important and lasting connection to myself, the practice of yoga, and an amazing group of people associated with this way of being… There is so much more to learn, but I know that I am walking away not only with a thirst for this learning but also something to now begin offering to others.
