Today I’m super excited to be talking to my pal and the founder of Strala Yoga, Tara Stiles.
I met Tara years ago and she had just released a book with Deepak Chopra, so I knew I had to learn more about her. Besides being an author, Tara is also a former top model and was so humble and kind my curiosity was peaked. She gave me a free lifetime membership to her Strala Yoga studio in New York, and once I started going, I was hooked. Strala is a unique style of yoga; deeply personal and intuitive, which I loved.
Tara’s work is truly incredible – she has built Strala yoga communities all over the world. Teaching people to tap into the power of an intuitive yoga practice and taking it off the mat into their lives. Her life’s work has been creating structure around an easy going practice that can help people dissolve stress, gain physical and emotional strength while, ‘radiating awesomeness into the world.” In her new book, Strala Yoga, Tara lays out simple, step-by-step information on everything from how to use the breath in movement, to how to create ease, to how to set up a home practice. I hope our interview inspires you to spread YOUR awesomeness and get your yoga on!
