Trained in yoga by her most influential teacher Esther Myers, she also studied with Monica Voss and Sandra Sammartino. Her passion for yoga is the unfolding of movement through the breath and gravity as taught by Vanda Scaravelli. Tara's focus is returning to naturalness and ease. Moving this way through an exploration of posture and breathing is a challenging practice for beginner and advanced students alike. Using intelligent and dynamic practice and her approach to yoga is grounded in the eternal wisdom possible in each student. She has had a dedicatied vipassana meditation practice for many years and has been teaching yoga full time since in 2001.
