Tanya is the Founder of True North Yoga Studio, opening the doors in 2017 in the beautiful Barossa, South Australia. Her interest and professional experience in the health and wellness sector since her early 20’s culminated in a dedicated yoga practice around 20 years ago.
Tanya loves yoga for its capacity to build strength and flexibility (physically and in life) but it is the call to calm, center, shift perspective, and set or re-set the day that guides Tanya’s yoga practice.
Tanya has completed over 1500hrs of Yoga Teacher Training including 500hrs-RYT, Pre-Post Natal Yoga Teacher Training, Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Psychology & Meditation, Pranayama (Breathwork), Applied Ayurveda, and two trips to India for concentrated study and practice.
Tanya has also managed and assisted Yoga Teacher Trainings as well as educational workshops, retreats and events with teacher training school Shantarasa Yoga. She holds heartfelt gratitude and reverence for the teachers in her life and their incredible wisdom, experience, and guidance.
Prior to yoga, Tanya’s professional background spanned over a decade in Injury Management and as a Rehabilitation Consultant, and she is currently in her final year of a Bachelor of Health Science with the University of South Australia.
Tanya’s current industry registration includes E-RYT 500 (Yoga Alliance Senior Yoga Teacher 500+hrs) and YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider), and is a Regsistered Health Promotion Professional (Australian Health Promotion Association AHPA).
The True North Yoga Studio community, teachers, and beautiful space is a daily source of inspiration to Tanya for which she is grateful everyday.
