Tara attended her first yoga class in 1997. She practiced Yogalates, Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga in Byron Bay until she returned to Canada six months later. "At the time yoga was yoga to me- I didn’t understand the different brand names or styles. I found a yoga studio and attended a class. It was nothing like I had practiced before. I was expecting a fitness based yoga class, but this was different. In 2000 Tara became a Hatha yoga teacher in the style of Svaroopa® and has been teaching ever since. Svaroopa® yoga offers that ‘something more’ and it is for everyBODY.

Karen began her Yoga practice in Thailand in 1995 after meeting her first Yoga teacher. She spent 5 years of initial practice very much in isolation under the guidance of her teacher and then began to study with several local teachers, based on Koh Samui. She moved to Bangkok and here continued her studies at the Iyengar Yoga Studio where she also began to assist with the newly formed kids Yoga Program.

She left Thailand after 12 years to follow her passions and train as a Yoga teacher with Nicky Knoff in Cairns and with Kylie Peters of Simply Kids in Sydney. Shortly afterwards she settled in the Byron shire. Karen began teaching adults locally and children in the local Primary and High schools. As an experienced Artist and Art teacher, Karen has been combining her talents to recently create the Yoga and Art holiday program at the Red Tent Yoga. Whilst here in the Shire she met Rachel Zinman who opened the door in her life and heart to the practice of Bhakti and Kirtan. She began studying classical Indian music and learning Harmonium April last year and more recently has began her journey and aspirations to lead Kirtans.

Rosie grew up in Byron Bay amidst the everyday presence of yoga and meditation. She attended her first yoga class when she was 10yrs old and continued to practice sporadically throughout her teens and early 20’s. However it was her first trip to India in 2008 that transformed her practice and brought to life her love of yoga. Since 2009 she has predominantly lived in Thailand where she studies yoga and meditation at a tantric yoga school, teaches Hatha yoga, leads weekly kirtan, holds sacred women’s circles and offers her qualifications as a doula whenever she can . Rosie teaches with an emphasis on inspiring and nurturing the divine essence in all women.
