Tamara has taught yoga for nearly 15 years and is based in Berkshire County, MA. As a trauma-sensitive teacher, she offers clear and compassionate guidance, helping students cultivate strength, resilience, and ease in both body and mind.

With a background primarily in the Ashtanga and Iyengar traditions, Tamara completed her 200-hour teacher training with Natasha Rizopoulos and her 300-hour training with Jules Mitchell, focusing on biomechanics, pain science, the science of stretching, and somatic movement. She holds certifications in Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga with Arielle Schwartz and Trauma and Post Lineage Yoga with Theo Wildcroft.

Her meditation training includes certificates in “Transforming Suffering with RAIN” by Tara Brach and “The Power of Awareness” with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. In February 2025, she will begin a two-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Tara and Jack.

Tamara’s love of movement and interest in the body started at a young age with her training as a dancer and actor. She holds an MFA in theatre and has worked professionally as an actor in film, television, and theatre in Canada and the US since 2000, including lead roles in feature films and Canadian network TV series. She recently created, starred in, and produced THIS IS IT, a one-woman show through her production company, MetaGirl Productions, which has been performed in the Berkshires, Boston, and New York City.
