    Testimonials ✨

    “Even though I struggled with my mind wandering each time, I still found huge benefit in how my awareness day to day has really increased since starting this series. The final class was the most amazing experience for me. I was in a deep meditative state where I felt very light as if I was floating and had this sweet taste in the back of my throat. It was kind of similar, but also very different to the state I occasionally get into with Yoga Nidra. I’ve been researching it ever since this was such a new, different, and exciting
    experience for me, and I cannot wait to continue to explore meditation further. I really appreciate Tania’s genuineness and how she encourages people in their experience to do what is natural, including tears. I also really appreciate the reminders throughout class to come back to the breath when the mind wanders.” ~ Paula Y.

    “I am so grateful for Tania's yoga and meditation classes because they are easy to motivate myself to do – they make me feel stronger and lighter at the same time. Her cues are simple to follow and the sequences are always unique, thoughtful and challenging, with so much warmth and humor thrown in. You can feel the love radiating through each posture. Learning from Tania is a beautiful, grounding and nurturing experience. Tania is exactly the teacher I needed to guide me gently into this new chapter of being. She is full of light, compassion and kindness and it is a pleasure to learn from her. After years of wondering whether I should take up Meditation, I am so grateful to have finally invested in myself. If you are feeling called to learn, I absolutely recommend learning with Tania!! Thank you!” ~ Anamika S.

     

    ” Meditation has interested me for years and I’ve tried apps and books but it never felt like I was doing it right or comfortably. That all changed when I took Tania’s meditation class! The class was paced really well to ease into it and feel comfortable in the process. I found the exploration very relaxing and restorative. Tania has a very soothing voice and a great energy to help guide you through the practice. I’ve been doing different types of breathwork for a couple of years and that component of her class was really interesting! Because of my schedule, I wasn’t able to attend the entire four weeks, but I hope they line up for me so I can do them all. ~ Dave C.
