Tara McGuire

My name is Tara McGuire and I am a home-schooling, work-from-home-businessing, single mother of four. It was my deep drive to inspire and empower individuals that led me to pursue becoming an instructor of yoga. I love to help improve people’s life for the better and in fact, that is what I do in my business and home life. It brings me a great sense of purpose to help others through yoga as I have benefitted. To help them be empowered by strengthening, to help them be more relaxed by gaining flexibility, to help them be a better athlete or dancer, and to help them be more balanced in body, mind and spirit by the practice of yoga. I first began practicing yoga in 2000 while pregnant with my third child and quickly fell in love with this art of opening and strengthening one’s body. My practice began at home and I was, in fact, a household yogini for several years. My study was through classic Yogis such as Rodney Yee, and Gurmukh. Formal training also included studying from the teachings of Swami Vishnu-devananda. Although my training was mostly from the teachings of Iyengar, it is my sensitivity to the class and individual that allows me to meet them where they are and I really love to simply be led by the spirit of the class and allow the creative energy to drive me. I teach Gentle Yoga to individuals in their later years or those with limitations as well as level one and level two Yoga. There really is no one that cannot practice Yoga and I love to help them all. EveryBODY needs yoga.
