Tanya Porter is the real deal. A yoga teacher who is informed by other modalities as well, drawing wisdom from drumming and shamanic practices. As a meditation teacher she is outstanding.

Yoga for healing and wellness accommodates my physical needs without ever making me feel left out or unable to do parts of the class. Tanya is able to gently challenge each of us at whatever stage we enter the space on any given day.
