Tara Yoga Studio classes are open and welcoming to practitioners of all levels. Inspiring music enhances teachers’ close attention and care in crafting creative asana sequences. Props are available, and hands on assists are offered.

Classes

  • Tara Vinyasa classes connect breath with movement to invigorate, awaken, and elevate your energy. Modifications and alternatives are offered along the way.

  • Tara Hatha Flow classes emphasize alignment and posture analysis, along with a slower-paced flow.

  • Coming soon! We can’t wait to share our signature Tara Flow together with you.

  • Tara Yoga Basics class is not “just” for beginners. We’d love it if everyone coming to Tara would drop into some Basics classes. You’ll learn how to deepen your breath awareness during Sun Salute A, B, and C, you’ll learn the differences between side angle A, B, C, prasarita A, B, C, D, and so much more. You’ll learn how to use the studio’s props in various ways depending on your personal needs. We could go on and on…just come on in and see for yourself!

  • Tara Restorative classes often incorporate elements of yin, reiki, and sound healing.

Build your beautiful life around the things you’re willing to practice over a long period of time, without interruption, and with great joy.

“When Marisa guides my yoga practice I feel grounded and enjoy spaciousness in my movements. The structure she offers feels supportive, her cues help me stay focused on my breath and her pace allows me to flow steadily and feel strong. Marisa’s energy is warm, consistent, and encouraging. She connects with each student and co-creates community within each class. I always enjoy my time in her classes and am able to access the peace and relaxation I seek from my yoga practice.”

“Marisa’s yoga classes are such a gift. She brings a warm, energetic flow that beautifully blends the physical and spiritual. Marisa's attention to form with each individual makes every class feel personal and supportive, while the sense of community she creates is truly special. Best of all, she has this incredible way of helping you connect what happens on the mat with the life you’re living off it.”
