Chris has been an active person his entire life. Over 20 years ago, he attended his first yoga class and was hooked from the start. The workout was unparalled to any workout he had ever experienced. No matter how tough life got, he always felt that his mat was his place to truly escape.

Tara’s yoga journey started in her college days at the local community college. Finding no real interest in the history or concept of yoga, it was merely another way to get in shape, taking care of her boy or mind, Tara found vinyasa style flow yoga. 

It didn’t take long for the yoga to kick start something inside Tara– she knew within a few years she was meant to teach yoga to others. The practice allowed her to discover more about not only her body, but about herself. In exploring the poses with breath work, the world opens up a dimension of your life that is missing you’re not even aware it existed. She completed her 200 hour certification and continues her education attending workshops around the country; including Off teh Mat- Into the World’s Leadership Training.

Her teaching style incorporates a bit of fun and the idea of fearlessness– a willingness to be open– and emphasis on allignment. Having dealt with lower back pain throughout her practice, she believes in slowing the practice down to deeper understand your body and breath.
