Tamara is a dancer who has been practicing yoga since 1998, and she has practiced with her current teachers Petri Raisanen and Juha Javainanen for over a decade.  She regularly assists and teaches with them internationally. She is trained in Finnish energy healing and has permission from Petri to give treatments.  She is also trained in experiential anatomy and uses this knowledge to sense the systemic tensions in the body, when she is assisting, making the assisting highly responsive, sensitive and individual to each student.

As a dance teacher and contact improvisation teacher, she has a deep understanding of how to support, touch and help alignment, relaxation and ease of movement through touch and tactile knowledge.
