Humbled by the profundity of yoga. Tanya views herself as an eternal student dedicated to a life-long journey.

Tanya’s passion for the outdoors and active lifestyle were what led her to yoga. She finds great pleasure immersing herself in nature whether it be rafting wild and scenic rivers, snowboarding through backcountry, or surfing the beautiful beaches of Nicaragua. She believes that spending time in nature is an excellent catalyst for healing and connecting to atman. (the soul)

Her classes are a balance of playfulness and diligence that are welcoming to people of all levels with her emphasis on encouraging the intuitive wisdom within each student.
