Tara Lemerise took her first yoga class in 1999 and went on to complete her 200-hour teacher training at Willow Street Yoga in Takoma Park, Maryland in 2005.
She continues to study the Anusara system of Hatha Yoga and is a devoted student of Kriya Yoga meditation with DC's own Swami Abhipadananda and Swami Jyotir Vakyananda.
Tara loves teaching beginners because they always remind her why she fell in love with yoga in the first place. Her teaching instructions are patient, clear and encouraging. She draws on her own enthusiasm for the multi-layered practice of yoga to balance a joyful exploration of asana (yoga poses) with pranayama (breath work) and meditation. Tara is dedicated to helping all of her students find ways to connect their practice on the yoga mat to their lives off the mat.
Tara teaches classes at Capitol Hill Yoga, Spiral Flight Yoga, Blue Heron Wellness, and Jacobs Fitness Center at American University. She is also available for private yoga and meditation instruction.
