Tara is a masterful teacher who imparts to her students her 20 plus years of teaching and studying the rigorous discipline of Iyengar yoga. An avid student, Tara’s classes are fresh with points from her remote classes with her teacher Prashant BKS Iyengar’s son, that focus on uniting the mind and body via breath, Patanjali’s first yoga sutra. And she imparts what she learns from studying her own mind and body during practice, something she reminds us is key to our personal progress. Tara Bernstein is a venerable guide on your path. -Char
As the year ends, I would like to take this opportunity to convey how grateful I am for your help through the year in addressing my concerns and your individual attention in our weekly yoga sessions. It's super challenging to customize poses pushing the body to stretch and strengthen while keeping individual ailments in mind and you do it so well even in group settings. I am glad to have found you with so much passion for yoga and patience, kindness towards your clients.Sreelu,
I'd taken yoga classes with Tara for 10+ years before moving to Alaska in 2017. Fortunately I was able to attend a class occasionally when visiting Seattle. Now Zoom has given me weekly yoga once again. The on-line Wednesday 10 am gentle yoga helps my strength, posture, and flexibility. Tara's instructions are clear. She's an excellent coach--speaking directly to each of us as needed. I also appreciate her ability to help us resolve technical difficulties using Zoom. Thanks! Tara
I’ve been practicing yoga on and off for over 30 years, but when I started to have some health issues earlier this year, I thought it would be a good idea to get some professional input on my practice. I was lucky that the magic of Google brought me to Tara.
She’s one of those rare instructors who not only has the depth of knowledge and experience to teach you at whatever level is suitable, but is also willing to work with you as an individual to come up with the practice that’s best for you. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution being foisted on students.
I have a routine that I’ve been using for years and I was happy with, but Tara was able to suggest tweaks and adjustments that fixed some problems that had crept in and took my practice to a new level. She also created a sequence tailored specifically to address recent health issues which has made a tremendous difference to my quality of life.
Tara Bernstein is a gifted and empathetic teacher who really listens, and I’m thrilled to have found her!Shanthi
