Hi there! ​My name is Tara Lemerise and I've always been a seeker.
​
What I've been seeking has changed over time but the vast tradition of yoga has always offered me whatever I've been seeking.What I've wanted and needed has changed over time.
​​
And I've always found what I was seeking in yoga.

​I discovered yoga when I was in college in 1999. Over the past 25+ years of yoga study and 20+ years of yoga teaching, I've engaged with many different styles of yoga including Ashtanga, Anusara, Iyengar, Kriya, Restorative and Yin. I'm currently studying to be a Sanskrit translator. I have great love and reverence for all styles and systems!

A class with me will include a philosophy talk, somatic movement and biomechanical explorations as warm up, active postures that you hold (not flow through) with specific actions to explore and consider, a simple pranayama and meditation practice, and plenty of time for deep resting in shavasana and other Restorative Yoga postures.

Students like my teaching because it is:

-Dogma free authenticity in harmony with honor for tradition.

-Offered with joy and compassion by a well-travelled guide, not by an authoritarian who promises all of the right answers.

-About feeling empowered and fortified, even when (or especially when!) you are lying around on a pile of props.

-Inspired by relatable stories rooted in yoga tradition that feel relevant to everyday life.

Looking forward to meeting you!
