$36.00 History of Modern Postural Yoga


From your sticky mat today all the way back to the banks of the Ganges, this engaging two-hour workshop makes yoga history relevant to you. Tara's dynamic lecture style and generative questions guide you through the complicated history of yoga in a fascinating and accessible way. Who created and named these poses? Are these poses we do actually ancient? Understanding the answers to these questions (and many more!) will begin to unpack yoga's history and your place in it.

This workshop helps us all move from cultural appropriation to cultural appreciation, gives important meaning-making context for present-day practice, and inspires you to continue to be a part of the diverse and ever-evolving practices of yoga. The material in this workshop is suitable for curious yoga practitioners, as well as aspiring and current yoga teachers.

2 CEU's are available for yoga teachers registered with Yoga Alliance. This workshop includes lecture/presentation, as well as personal reflection and discussion. We will not be practicing any asana. The recording will be available for one month to all registrants.



Tara Lemerise

Tara Lemerise teaches the time-honored philosophy and practice of yoga in an accessible and joyful way. Registered with Yoga Alliance at E-RYT-200/E-RYT-500, Tara has been teaching yoga philosophy, movement, and meditation since 2005. She has over 9,000 hours of teaching experience.

According to Tara, there is nothing to “fix” with yoga. Instead, there are only more opportunities to understand and be more fully present to our separate and together experiences. She is known for offering clear and helpful instruction to students at all levels and makes the wisdom of yoga feel relevant and relatable.

Tara’s classes include action-based instructions in asana that are a result of study of anatomy, kinesiology and creative movement. In addition, Tara provides plenty of opportunities for stillness and contemplation in her classes, which are deeply influenced by her study and practice of Restorative Yoga.
