Growing up in a small town in Iowa, Tara comes from a background filled with meditation and dance. A simple and fulfilling childhood.
“You could even say my parents were straight-edge hippies.”
Having a ballet instructor who was ahead of the curve, a mixture of yoga and meditation had been brought into her classic learning from early on.
“I didn't ever think it would become my career though, I always thought I would go study Business or Science.”
In the late 90’s Tara had moved to New York and naturally began to share her gift of yoga, meditation and personal peace. Not even realizing that her simple practices could one day teach and serve.
“It’s truly about you feeling better, it's not about being “good” at yoga or meditation.”
Due in just a few short weeks with her first child, this new mommy-to-be shares with us that the biggest lesson her nugget has already taught her (and she's not even born yet) is to slow down…simply put.
“You have to learn the difference between being productive and just being busy. It is possible to do more with less energy.”
