“What I loved most about my studies with Tara and the Abhaya team is their non-dogmatic approach, emphasis on seeing the good, and how they create such a well-rounded toolbox for new teachers to experiment with. Instead of memorizing one set sequence, I learned to craft a safe, creative, dynamic class that integrated the core principles of the Abhaya Method while allowing my own personality to shine through. I also appreciated how the 300 hour highlighted Yoga Therapeutics and dove deep into the subject of private yoga. This is a major aspect of the training that sets Abhaya apart. Because of this module, I learned how to teach adaptive classes to people of all ages and abilities in a one-on-one setting. I now make a living teaching private clients in their homes. To sustain myself financially while doing something I love so deeply is truly a dream.

Whether you’re a newbie looking for a beginner friendly studio, a seasoned practitioner seeking out a 200 hour program, or a current teacher wanting to fine tune and expand your skills, Abhaya is a haven for all. <3“

Yoga is an art, a science, and a philosophy. It touches the life of man at every level, physical, mental, and spiritual. It is a practical method for making one’s life purposeful, useful and noble. Yoga is a friend to those who embrace it sincerely and totally. It lifts its practitioners from the clutches of pain and sorrow and enables them to live fully, taking delight in life.
