. MEET TARA We are excited to introduce Tara (@greentarahealingandyoga) our newest prenatal yoga instructor. Check out her yoga journey and a little more about her below. We are so excited to have her join the team.... How did you get into yoga? I got into yoga over 20 years ago (does that date me?) when I was taking my BA in Psychology. I started practicing in a basement class and I was hooked. The draw to me has always been mindfulness, how emotional and physical health are intertwined, and learning to quiet a constantly busy mind. After completing my diploma in Holistic Health and having 2 kids I embarked on my teacher training journey. I love connecting with students and seeing how breath, movement and mindfulness can change their lives.Those who know me well know I absolutelylove pregnant women so Prenatal Teacher Training was a natural next step! When I'm not teaching I am walking my dog with my bestie, hanging with my family and friends, hiking, skiing, camping, horseback riding and probably having a glass of wine. Type of yoga: Prenatal Can't live without: My family, sunshine, 4 legged friends, coffee/wine Fave place in YEG: Ascendant Books, Tres Carnales Rostizado 2 Truths and a Lie: I am a night owl. I've helped birth a pig. I can't stand orange flavoured chocolate PC: @sherrieellisphotography

Forever a student- I am a certifying Doula; as well as a working towards becoming a registered massage therapist. When not teaching yoga or doing homework, I spend most of my time with my family.
