Tara Maria Ford MFA, E-RYT500, CHWC

Yoga is meditation in motion.

My Yoga Teaching Philosophy

            My intention is to guide each practitioner toward connecting with their inner truth. I believe that through focusing on alignment while breathing slowly and deeply, we align with our unique voice. As we make this connection, we lift the burden of separateness and sink into the interconnectedness that is our essence.


          I have special training working with practitioners who have previous trauma and those in recovery from addiction, slowly bringing a sense of safety into the body.  I am available for one-on-one classes or a combination of Wellness Coaching and Yoga.   Working one-on-one, I am able to meet you where you are at and individualize the class with sensitivity so that you get what you need and you leave feeling empowered, open, and relaxed.

Beautiful praise for my yoga classes & workshops:


"You are a gifted teacher!"


"That was exactly what I needed, but I didn't know I needed it."


"I've never been to a yoga class like this before.  It was amazing!"


"I felt my body open up in a new way.  Thank you!"


"Your cuing allows me to align my mind and body.  Your pacing gives me space to settle into the pose and in myself."


"Thank you! I needed that!"


"Thank you for sharing your wisdom!"


"Impeccable timing!"


"That was phenomenal!"


"I love how you incorporate the breath.  It really allows me to connect to myself and heal past wounds."


"Tara’s workshop is unlike any other I’ve taken. She has a capacity for attuned listening and responding that helps students become more sensitive to their own experiences. This new level of sensitivity enriched my creative expression in a way that gave more vitality to my writing (and my life!)."
