Please join me for an all-levels flow and song experience that is filled with joy and celebration and an invitation to “tune in”.

When I think of love songs, I am reminded of how music has touched every part of my life. The lullabies, the coos, the dancing, the gatherings of family and friends and, of course, all the OMs.

You know the feeling. Songs and sounds have become part of our roots and, in particular, the songs of love can be an integral part of the yoga experience.

The heart chakra (Anahata ) and the throat chakra (Vishuddha) are connected in a very special way. We know that the heart chakra is all about love. And most often we think of the throat chakra being all about our voice. But… that is only half right. It is also about our ability to listen: to our past, to our present, to our hopes, and to all those beings around us - in the kindest possible ways.

In this immersive experience, let’s dive deeply into hip openers, forward folds, core work, balancing and gentle backbends -,with a twist or two. We will awaken the breath in order to awaken the sounds that move from us and towards us. 

This all-levels flow is open to everyone and every level. You are in a safe place to stretch your body, mind, heart and voice. Please join us for this very special flow experience.

Let’s be real—life gets loud, and your nervous system is asking for something softer. This isn’t just a yoga class. It’s a 3-hour reset for your whole self.

We’ll start by slowing down. You’ll learn the foundations of restorative yoga—why it works, how it supports your body, and how to create rest rituals that actually restore you. Yoga teachers will walk away with a simple, powerful sequence to share. Everyone will leave with tools they can return to again and again.

Then we dive into the experience. Think bolsters, blankets, stillness—and a live sound bath designed to soothe you all the way down to your bones. It’s spacious, grounding, and exactly what your nervous system needs.

This is for you if:
• You’re burnt out and need a full-body exhale
• You’re a teacher craving tools that support real rest
• You want to learn and receive
• You’re ready to feel like yourself again

Come as you are. Leave feeling more whole.

Immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature and rediscover your inner radiance with Tara and Jessica's "Slow Beauty" experience, a nourishing offering within the vibrant Love Shine Play Festival. Journey with us as we gently weave together the grounding energy of the forest, the revitalizing magic of a waterfall, and the soothing warmth of a traditional drip sauna.

Our day begins with a scenic drive to the breathtaking Catawba Falls hike. There, Tara will guide you on a mindful hike through verdant trails, inviting you to connect deeply with the earth through an opening invocation and grounding practice. Feel the forest awaken your senses as we make our way to a hidden gem.

At the majestic waterfall, Jessica will lead you in a time of gentle exploration and connection. Allow the cascading waters to wash away any tension as you embrace the natural beauty surrounding you. Jessica will also offer nourishing snacks and the opportunity to indulge in the earth's embrace with provided clay masks, enhancing your natural glow.

After our time by the waterfall, we'll embark on a leisurely hike back, carrying the serenity of the forest with us. A short drive will then lead us to the comforting embrace of Drip Sauna. Here, the gentle heat and rhythmic dripping will further melt away stress, leaving you feeling deeply cleansed and renewed.

Join Tara and Jessica for this unique opportunity to slow down, connect with nature, and nurture your well-being as part of the inspiring Love Shine Play Festival. We can't wait to share this rejuvenating journey with you!

Join me on an empowering journey of body, mind, and spirit and experience the deep psycho/somatic work of Transformational Inner Work (TIW), which leads to personal growth and development and can propel you toward a more genuine and fulfilling life!

Within the realm of yoga, TIW seamlessly incorporates asanas, pranayama, shadow work, energetic anatomy, meditation, contemplation, and an exploration of yoga philosophy and spiritual practices.
Through this work, you can reshape hidden patterns, beliefs, and emotions that influence your thoughts, actions, and relationships.

This meaningful and transformative experience transcends the physical aspects of yoga. It allows you to tap into your inner wisdom, cultivate self-compassion, and foster deep connections with yourself and others, creating a sense of belonging and understanding.

Be prepared to self-reflect, release energy, feed your soul, align with the Source, and open your body, heart, and mind to freedom, happiness, and empowerment!
