Poetry of Yoga: Soul Rememberings

Infused with poetry from her self-published collections “Collecting Feathers,” “Landing hOMe,” and “Sacred Details,” Tara will take you on a journey hOMe. While drinking in the sacred sounds of heartbeat and breath, we will take the ability to listen and feel even deeper within. We will tap into that intuitive sense of knowing; how and when to move and when to be still.
