Yoga Stories: Tara

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
