TaraMarie, long-time Williamsburg resident and Yoga teacher, has relocated her private practice to Grand Street Healing Project, a beautiful community healing center.
TaraMarie Perri <bio> guides a Yoga practice that is comprehensive, seasonally-supportive*, and taught with a down-to-earth approach while honoring the classical eight-limbed Yoga path (conscious living observances and disciplines, posture, breath control, sense control, concentration, meditative awareness, and union). Classes are informed by Hatha and Iyengar styles and also incorporate steady breath-focused sequencing in a sun salutation tradition. Modifications and variations are always suggested. Friday Restorative Yoga spends more time during the second half of practice exploring stillness in restorative postures. The support of props, guided visualization, and breathing techniques encourage stress relief, nervous system rebalancing, and deep relaxation. A warm layer and socks are recommended during cooler months. All classes are offered in a supportive and compassionate group environment.
The system of Yoga is intrinsically therapeutic. TaraMarie guides students with a unique perspective on how to accept and investigate individual alignment while honoring one’s personal - and ever-changing - journey of body, mind, and heart.
*About the seasonal perspective: according to Ayurveda, the sister science to Yoga, each season invites us to adapt our daily routine to new conditions. Yoga allows us to make choices; by connecting with carefully selected postures, breath, sensory awareness, and meditation, we can embrace Mother Nature's wisdom and harmonize our rhythms with hers. The intention of practicing Yoga in dialogue with the seasonal cycle is to cultivate a deep sense of well-being which can benefit other areas of our lives year-round.
