TaraMarie guides a Yoga practice that is comprehensive, seasonally-supportive*, and taught with a down-to-earth approach while honoring the classical “eight-limbed” Yoga path. The first half of Restorative Yoga practice is informed by Hatha and Iyengar styles and also incorporates gentle breath-focused sequencing in a sun salutation tradition to create warmth. The second half of practice spends more time exploring stillness in restorative postures. The support of props, guided visualization, and breathing techniques encourage stress relief, nervous system rebalancing, and deep relaxation. A warm layer and socks are recommended during cooler months. Modifications and variations are always suggested. All classes are offered in a supportive and compassionate group environment.
The system of Yoga is intrinsically therapeutic. TaraMarie guides students with a unique perspective on how to accept and investigate individual alignment while honoring one’s personal - and ever-changing - journey of body, mind, and heart.
*About the seasonal perspective: according to Ayurveda, the sister science to Yoga, each season invites us to adapt our daily routine to new conditions. Yoga allows us to make choices; by connecting with carefully selected postures, breath, sensory awareness, and meditation, we can embrace Mother Nature's wisdom and harmonize our rhythms with hers. The intention of practicing Yoga in dialogue with the seasonal cycle is to cultivate a deep sense of well-being which can benefit other areas of our lives year-round.
