What Students Say
The Yoga Teacher Mentorship with Tara, transformed my teaching and life. Tara’s deep experience and dedication to traditional yoga inspired me to reevaluate my practice, teaching, and lifestyle. At the time, I was overworking, exhausted, and disconnected from my own practice. With Tara’s guidance, I changed my habits, prioritized self- care, and learned to see and teach each student individually. Beyond the knowledge, Tara provided emotional support, helping me navigate the challenges of being a yoga teacher. I’m so grateful for her wisdom and excited to continue this journey!

Tara is one of the most genuine, knowledgeable and dedicated teachers I know. I have practiced
under her guidance a few times over the years and just finished a two-week intensive with her in Mysore. I highly recommend studying with her if you get the chance. Tara’s classes follow the Ashtanga Yoga system with attention to detail and alignment, she also teaches with a lot of insight into the greater tradition of Yoga and Indian culture. Based on the needs of individual students, she includes Pranayama, mantras and meditation. She once said that “Yoga is much more than asana – a path to self-discovery and compassion towards oneself and others.” I so look forward to coming back soon!!

I am taking Tara's online Chanting Course and I have the need to express how immensely happy
I amI feel so blessed that I have the chance to learn from someone who is so dedicated and passionate about what she does, that digs in the Source, the Root, to get clear and clean knowledge. She has a very deep and refined understanding about so many areas and she transmits all of it with so much love, care and humbleness I feel she is so close to me in my learning process even though we are in two different countries. I feel she holds space and walks besides me along this beautiful chanting-learning journey thank you.
~ Azahar Martin Sanchez, Yoga Teacher, Spain
I have been practicing Vedic chanting with Tara for the past year and a half. Tara provides support
that combines a bath of genuine kindness, encouragement, precision,and high standards. This makes my learning very easy, it facilitates it, and isn’t that the primary quality of a good teacher? Tara shares her knowledge with generosity and simplicity, never overcomplicating concepts that she knows can take a lifetime to grasp. I would like to express my appreciation for the rare and precious nature of her presence and her teaching. With all my thanks.
