Aries Sun, but I don’t know the rest.
Kathrin (she/her) began practicing yoga in 2005 and has been teaching since 2009. She’s also a Pilates instructor and has studied mindful approaches to resistance and strength training. Her approach to movement is one that values accessibility and personal exploration. She believes movement is an integral component of our overall health and that mindful forms of movement can increase our capacity for stress resiliency and self-regulation. In her own practice, the ability to self-soothe through breath, movement, and meditation has been deeply healing. Off her mat, Kathrin loves hiking, camping, learning about nature and playing with her two kitties Molly & Mitzi.

TARYN DIAMOND
INSTRUCTOR
Leo Sun, Taurus Moon, Virgo RisingTaryn (she/her) will forever call herself a ‘new mom’, despite having a four year old. Her entry to yoga was through movement, but her passion ruminates in studying its roots in Eastern philosophy. She is unabashed in her commitment to cheesy jokes and not taking this thing called ‘life’ too seriously. Taryn is most passionate about teaching movement that breeds self-inquiry and compassion. Her classes purposefully amp up the agency of her students because, ultimately, we all have the best teachers within us. If she had to pick one modality to be monogamous with, it would be Yoga Nidrā. Through nidrā, Taryn is able to express the golden nuggets embedded within the philosophy of yoga, while also facilitating some meaningful rest for her students.Despite not being a ‘Trekkie’, this Leonard Nimoy quote really hits home for her: “The miracle is this: the more we share, the more we have.

Tamara (she/they)
I believe in the holistic benefits of movement and lead practices in a multitude of modalities. I instruct yoga, restorative, pilates, barre, rope wall, functional movement, circus arts like contortion and aerial, and more. I am also in school studying to be an osteopathic manual practitioner.
I love leading practices that invite connection to breath, noticing thoughts, emotions, and loving and accepting the most subtle layers of yourself. The invitation to be intentional, and integrate your practice to inform your actions, expand your heart-mind, and to be of service off the mat.
