In this episode of the Beats & Balance Podcast, host Tinora Locke-Terrefe is joined by Tara Thompson, a trauma-informed yoga teacher and the founder of The Quest Yoga in Ireland.
Tara shares her personal journey through trauma and how it inspired her to create safe, empowering spaces for others. She reflects on the staggering reality that 1 in 4 people in Ireland have been victims of abuse, and 1 in 3 women, underscoring the urgent need for trauma-informed care and healing-centered practices in wellness.
With honesty and compassion, Tara talks about the challenges of balancing personal healing while supporting others, the importance of safety and choice in trauma-informed yoga, and her vision of making these practices mainstream in Ireland.
🌿 Tara is also hosting her Rest and Restore Retreat in May 2026, set in a historic hunting lodge in the Wicklow Hills, just an hour from Dublin—a weekend of rest, restoration, and pressing pause in breathtaking scenery. Learn more at www.thequestyoga.com.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
