Testimonials
I have been doing yoga for 30 years. I have had teachers of all kinds. Taking lessons from [Tara] has been more useful to me than taking yoga from anyone else.
— Deepak Chopra
Love Tara Stiles. Best yoga instructor I’ve worked with. I didn’t think yoga would be challenging for someone athletic like me. I really couldn’t have been more wrong. It made me control and move my body in ways I never could before, and it was an amazing outlet for stress.
— Brooklyn Decker
One of the things I like about Tara is her ability to make yoga accessible to people who might be scared of it or think it might be too esoteric.
— Jane Fonda
Tara Stiles has got to be the coolest yoga instructor ever.
