ABOUT TASHA

Tasha has been a dedicated student of the practice since 2009. After spending 25 years as a gymnast and endurance athlete, she was searching for a way to balance the intensity of motherhood to 3 boys and still connect with her body, mind, and spirit in a new way.  Tasha found yoga to be a calming foundational force that helped her feel at home in herself and in her new stage of life.

Tasha completed her E-RYT 500 with Saul David Raye in 2015 and has also studied extensively with Shiva Rea and Janet Stone. She is currently studying with master teacher and founder of restorative yoga Judith Lasater. In addition to teaching asana, Tasha offers the gift of sound healing. She has taught heart flow group classes and private yoga in Ojai, CA over the past 10 years.

Tasha’s classes are breath focused and heart opening. Her style is gentle and supportive, and she uses her skills as a teacher and guide to encourage her students to come home to themselves.

Join Seshen for an evening of deep nourishment with the healing power of sound and presence.

In this event, Seshen weaves the sound of clear quartz crystal singing bowls and pyramids with her voice, listening to the stillness within all things. The music she offers will be created in the moment, attuning to our shared field, in gratitude and reverence to nature and all our relations, holding the prayer, “May we return Home.”

At the beginning of the sound offering, there will be a guided meditation that supports us to arrive in our body, the present moment, and the healing field that is within and around us. A short closing circle for integration will be followed at the end.

“Beyond all the stories and conditionings which we believe we carry and need to mend, there is a pathway through which we access the mystical messages of our soul, reminding us of our origin that is infinite and whole—the memory of who we truly are.”

Using breath and sound, we explore our fluid bodies through subtle movement, wave motion, and the language of sensation. Within sacred Space, together, we have the opportunity of allowing time to slow down, to shed that which needs to shed, and to come through anew, refreshed, and reborn. When we access the Innate Intelligence of the deeper Forces that sustain us, we tap into the pulsating streams of life as they ripple through our system and we enter The Mystery of what it means to embody.
