TARA HEAL (she/her)
Tara first found yoga as a budding theatre actor while studying Shakespeare in England in 2001and ever since, has been taken with the inner strength, peace, and sense of synchronicity this rich practice gives her. Her career as a performer landed her in NYC where she called home for nearly 15 years and was able to soak in a variety of yoga styles and stellar teachers. In 2008 Tara took her first yoga teacher training as she felt drawn to share this practice. The learning has continued! Deep bows to her teachers/training programs: Rod Stryker, Johnna Smith, Mary Bruce, Mary Dana Abbott, Modo Yoga Faculty, Carly Forest, Janet Stone, Witold Fitz-Simmons, Kula Yoga NYC and Julia Forest to name just a few.
Her students have spanned NHL teams, to Broadway performers, to corporate groups, to festivals, to studio classes. From Tara’s classes, you can expect a soulful, dynamic practice with innovative and skillful sequencing. She fosters a balance of strength, grace, agility and stability. Since 2016, Tara has been focused on developing as an educator. She offers mentorships and has held teacher development roles and positions on several teacher training faculties. Tara offers her own extended learning modules in Creative & Intelligent Vinyasa Sequencing & Authentic Teaching Voice for teachers and a variety of workshops for students looking to deepen their practice. The Mama Bear in her is thrilled to now be supporting expecting parents through empowering and nourishing Pre and Post-Natal classes and is she’s excited to help spark children’s interest in yoga and mindfulness early through Family Yoga & Music events. Tara is endlessly grateful to continue living her “why” through yoga and music here in beautiful BC. Follow Tara Heal on IG for yoga events, music offerings, workshops, retreats and trainings.
