Tara Folton

Yoga Teacher

Tara’s vinyasa classes are dynamic and playful. She intentionally incorporates creative sequencing, music, theming and props into her classes and invites her students to embody yoga as a way of living both on and off the mat. Her invitation is for her students to feel safe, have fun and celebrate coming together in community where we can share and embody this ancient practice.
