"our own life has to be our message..."

Tam often asks students, “who are you” not your name, your job or your hobbies but what are the three words that authentically describe you and the way you live your life journey?  Kindness, compassion and integrity are the aspects of Tam that guide the life she lives and the way she teaches. Tam's experiences across decades of her life as a student, equestrian, retail executive, yoga instructor, teacher trainer and yoga therapist, coupled with the emotions and challenges she faced with work, family and health allow her to meet you where you are.

The yoga practice is where her personal dialogue with you begins. Her own life experiences and skills fuel her unique ability to be compassionate to your life experience and design a practice especially for you.
