Yoga has proven to be a healing journey for Tammy, and she began teaching hoping to extend her experience to her students. 

“I want to be available to my students,” she says. “Yoga has brought so much to my life, I want my students to know class is a safe place to work through emotions which might be released through their practice.”

Tammy recognized early in her life that she has empathetic gifts and unique spiritual experiences which many Western religions and traditions don’t typically hold space for. 

“The yoga community provides an opportunity to talk openly and explore non-conventional ways of being,” she says. “And I wanted to be on the front lines for anyone who might be experiencing similar phenomena."
