Tamara Ashley

Tamara first encountered ashtanga yoga as part of her dance training. She is very inspired by the ashtanga yoga community, her teachers and fellow practitioners. Yoga has been a grounding and positive influence on her dance, performance and teaching career, and has greatly assisted her in injury recovery. Her process of injury recovery also enabled her to explore other styles of yoga, such as restorative yoga, which she developed a passion for. Through experiencing the benefits of the practice, Tamara has felt encouraged to offer restorative yoga as a practice to help students cultivate ease, health and well-being in themselves. Tamara is a certified restorative yoga teacher. Restorative yoga makes extensive use of props to support the body in various configurations that have affects on the subtle body, in particular. It is a deeply relaxing, rejuvenating practice that also offers an accessible bridge between postural yoga and meditation. Tamara often guides meditation following restorative yoga and finds the practices to be extremely complementary to one another. With 20 years of teaching experience in body based disciplines, she focuses on the individual student, and she aims to offer a warm welcoming space to learn and to be. Tamara is curious about the knowledge and potential of the body-mind. She has undertaken studies in process work, somatic practices and developmental movement, and currently teaches developmental movement and anatomy to yoga teachers as a faculty member of Barefoot Body Teacher Training and Enrichment in London. Tamara has also been practicing meditation in the Buddhist Vajrayana tradition, and has undertaken a contemplative teaching course at Naropa University.
