YOGA AND FEMININE SOUL RETREAT, TULUM MEXICO, NOV 7-12, 2013:
About 5 years ago, I left the NYC corporate finance world behind along with the masculine, tense, stressed hardness in my body and mind that came with it. When I began to travel around the world and deepen my spiritual practices, I started to feel the pulsating energy of the feminine Goddess within. Being in foreign places allowed me the freedom and courage to release Her. I learned that the goddess is fiercely powerful yet soft and kind, open-hearted and trusting, and she is tapped into the infinite abundance of Spirit.
Join me in my beloved Tulum, where I now live, for a transformational yoga and feminine soul retreat. This retreat is focused on cultivating your spiritual practice and unleashing the shining brilliance of your Goddess. Your days will be filled with 2x daily vinyasa yoga, spiritual practices of meditation, mantra, and kriyas, lots of relaxing Caribbean beach time (think tropical sun, white sand and turquoise water!), healthy delicious meals (to-die-for fish (or veggie!) tacos), ancient Mayan rituals, salsa dancing on the beach, and a small, intimate, warm group of like-minded women!
“The feminine goddess is strong and fierce but in a much more subtle way. She has an inner power. She knows the power of Spirit. That there’s something higher at work. And she dances with that energy. The goddess flows, trusts, believes in abundance, takes time to play, and is intimately in touch with her feelings and she lets those feelings guide her life. She’s responsive, not overpowering. She does less thinking, more intuitive feeling. She’s passionate and sensual. She’s adventurous and wild. She’s keenly aware of her grace and radiance. And she loves life….all of it. The calm and the storm. The suffering and the joy.”

ABOUT TARA:
Ditching her New York corporate banking career, Tara set out on a spiritual adventure through foreign lands in search of her true calling. She spent three years soaking in the sights and exotic cultures of India, Thailand, Bali, Australia, Nepal, Europe, and Morocco to name a few, and now has created a home in the powerful and beautiful Mayan land of Tulum, Mexico. From sacred baths in the Ganges, Thai massage studies in Thailand, surfing in Bali, campervan living in New Zealand, and salsa dancing on the beach in Mexico, she’s a long way from her suited (and stressed) Manhattan life.
Tara began her yoga training in a traditional Hatha methodology from India and continued her studies around the world in Anusara, Ashtanga, Kundalini, and Acroyoga. She has completed over 500 hours of study in technique, therapeutics, and philosophy. Her classes are a strong and sweaty Vinyasa flow with precise alignment cues and a loving spiritual focus that connects the practice to inspired living off the mat.
Tara is also a private life coach for clients around the world. She runs online courses and leads workshops on spiritual practices, law of attraction, and conscious business and entrepreneurship. You can find her publications on MindBodyGreen and Happiness and Wellbeing Magazine. You can also find her modeling the fun and chic bikins and clothing of the Tulum boutique Alfonsina y el mar.
