Tara’s teaching style is knowledgeable, patient, firm, challenging and kind. She teaches all ages and abilities especially those suffering from overall stiffness and those wanting more flexibility. She enjoys teaching small semi-private classes, because of the individual challenges and solutions that arise during the class. Encouraging students to connect the mind to the body is one of her teaching goals, as well as sharing the art, science and philosophy of yoga. She also enjoys the energy that comes from teaching larger classes and group workshop settings. Tara enjoys the art of creative sequencing to fit the needs of the students in front of her. She began teaching yoga at the University Family YMCA and the Creative Dance Center. Tara shares her passion for Iyengar yoga at other Seattle yoga studios.
