 "Let the beauty we love be what we do." - Rumi
She completed her 500 hour Yoga Alliance teaching credentials through Para Yoga and The Yoga Center of Minneapolis. Her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training was completed in 2001 through the It's Yoga Ashtanga Teacher Training Program in San Francisco with Larry Schultz. Tanya also has teacher training certificates in Prenatal Yoga through Jennifer Gray's JAI Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training Program as well as with Janice Clarfield's Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training program of Vancouver, BC, plus a wide variety of other teacher trainings from many other recognized teachers including Dharma Mittra, Judith Lasater, Paul Grilley, Seane Corn, Tias Little, David Swenson, Doug Swenson and more... Tanya blends her studies of Tantra Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga, Iyengar and Vinyasa Flow in each class. Focus is on aligning the physical with the subtle by using breath, awareness, alignment, and ancient yoga techniques including meditation, pranayama, kriya, bandha, chakra work, mudra, and mantra. With a reputation for creating physically challenging classes, she also strives to help students uncover their highest potential though tapas (purification & discipline), stiram (steadiness in body/mind) and sukham (maintaining a healthy sense of humor or ease during practice). She wishes to thank all of her teachers and mentors who have guided her on her path including Rod Stryker, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Ajahn Pichest Boonethame, Julie Laurence, Bhagavan Das, Carol Schoenecker, Jonas Westring, Jennifer Gray and Sigal Kemnitz. She currently teaches her classes through the Yoga Center of Minneapolis where she works as Director of Visiting Teacher Events and has, in the past, served as Assistant Director of the studio as well as Art and Marketing Director.

Tanya visits Thailand often where she continues her study of Thai Massage, as well as Buddhist meditation, Thai Shamanic Healing techniques, traditional Thai herbal and medical practices, and other cultural delights.
