“ Tamara’s sense of humour made every class a joy. I learned so much, tried so many new things, and really stretched beyond what I thought I could do. Spoiled me for any other yoga class.”

Programs

This program is a private 3 class session that focuses on relieving pain while creating space in the body. We use yoga shapes and movements, along with breath and mindfulness to bring awareness to the areas we are attempting to heal. After two sessions a client had this to say…
“I can't say enough about how amazing these two sessions with Tamara have been. She asked a lot of questions to find movements to best target my pain and if something wasn't quite working for me, she would find another movement that would work. After the very first session my back was singing - the pain was gone. Already after only two sessions this is proving to be life changing for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” - Linda
Therapeutic yoga is not a “fix”. It is a practice using yogic elements to bring awareness and breath to specific areas in order to encourage release, strengthening, and healing. As a practice, we bring these elements into our day to day to support our lives.
This program includes:
a short get-together to determine if this is the right path for you;
three private 1 hour sessions in The Yoga Room, Shelburne;
a personalized practice sequence focused on the area of concern. This sequence is updated each time we meet and e-mailed to you.
Investment: $150.00
** I am currently offering this practice at 50% off ($75.00) if you are willing to let me photograph and write about your sessions on my website and social media. You would not be named in these posts/discussions. -
Developing A Yoga Practice While Living With Chronic Pain
Chronic pain sucks, and those of us living with the hidden illnesses that cause chronic pain know the vicious circle of not wanting to move yet acknowledging that movement greatly diminishes the pain sensations. And it’s not just the pain. It’s also the side effects of exhaustion, weakness, and mood swings, to name a few.
This program gives you the opportunity to work in a group as well as one on one with Tamara to discuss and develop what works for your body, your pain levels, and your practice. This program will give you the knowledge and comfort level to make daily and appropriate decisions for your practice regardless of your pain levels.

Yoga & Peer Support
Join Tamara for a personal, private session that combines restorative yoga and peer support.
Peer support is a form of social and emotional assistance where individuals who have similar experiences, such as mental health challenges or substance use, connect and support each other.
Restorative yoga is a gentle, passive practice that focuses on relaxation and stress reduction through long-held, supported poses, often using props like blankets and bolsters, promoting deep relaxation and a sense of calm.

Yoga Teacher/Facilitator Mentoring
Are you a new yoga teacher, or someone who wants to get back into teaching after a long break? Maybe you are experiencing frustration with your practice, because teaching is part of our practice.
If so, consider one or more mentoring sessions with Tamara.
We can sit and chat, or even meet up in the studio to discuss sequencing, approach, and perhaps break down shapes and work on approach.
Think of it as peer support for yoga teachers!
Mentoring sessions are by donation.
