Thara – Exhale Yoga Instructor

Thara has 10 years of yoga training, with several brilliant teachers to whom she is forever grateful. She began teaching traditional hatha yoga, moved towards Vinyasa yoga, and has incorporated a joyful, rooted play into her classes. Thara’s work with ecological yoga stems from her master’s thesis, in which she focused on the dance between breath and body, and how the physical practice is a venue for connection to the earth and its elements. Her years of dance as a youth and work with various injuries have helped Thara to lead challenging, playful and careful classes. She teaches yoga with a spark of intensity aligned with joyous creativity. Thara hopes to continue to learn, from students and from inspirational international teachers. She includes play, flow and laughter into her serious career, and can always be won over by good wine, nourishing food and honest interactions. 

Thara is also a Naturopathic Physician, focuses on improving diet, relieving pain & glandular dysfunction, and blending the benefits of the yoga practice into her medical practice. She practices in Yaletown at Sage Naturopathic Clinic, across from Choices. To deepen your whole body health, come for a visit!
