This episode introduces us to Tara - who studied with Monica in Mysore. Tara is based in India but has also lived in Europe. She is a student and teacher of yoga, as well as an artist and mindful cook.
Tara's introduction to yoga came from two sources - a grandmother (who instilled the Yamas and Niyamas in her), and later family friends. That introduction was significant - not only did Tara start to learn yoga asanas, but her eyes were opened to the vastness of artistic expression once released from the confines of art classes at school. Young Tara took both topics very seriously as a child.
After a spell in Art and Design school, Tara's mother brought her back to yoga, hoping she would get some grounding and direction for her life. At the Sivananda Centre she learned quickly and ended up taking a teacher training course. One day, after completing the course, she was asked to teach at the centre. It was then that she learned that opening up to channel a higher power was the best way to teach.
Listen to the rest of Tara's story to hear her views on being an artist and a yogi; how she has learned to accept her personality and character and how she lives her life now, in this moment.
As the recording involves the internet, sometimes the quality is not the best. You may have to listen more carefully - but that may not be a bad thing 😁
