Class Outline
Introduction to Yoga
Tara & Michael will guide you through the most basic fundamentals of yoga, such as breathing, alignment, and flexibility. At the end of the module, they'll then give you a brief introduction to performing the poses in the next session.
Sitting Poses
Who knew there were so many ways you could sit? Watch these sixteen videos and learn about the various sitting poses that will later be incorporated into your flows.
Standing Poses
If you thought there were a lot of seated positions, get ready to practice standing up! In this module, Tara and Michael will show you 39 different standing poses that will ultimately form the basis of your practice.
Arm Balances
Arm strength is crucial to advancing in your practice, as it allows for much needed support and proper alignment of poses. This module reviews the fundamental arm balances that you'll routinely see throughout your practice.
Backbends
Backbends are great for opening up your shoulders, hips, chest, and back. Tara and Michael will review ten different types of backbends, as well as explain the benefits they provide to your mind and body.
Inversions
As you start to feel a bit more daring in your practice, you may want to try the more challenging inversion poses. Watch as Tara and Michael demonstrate four of the most common inversions, and explain the proper and safe way to perform each.
Restorative
After practicing inversions, a few restorative yoga poses may definitely be in order! In this module, you'll learn the poses that, rather than push you, help restore your body to a relaxed, tension-free state.
Sequences
Now it's time to take what you've learned and put it all together in a flow! Tara and Michael will review sixteen sequences, each with a specific focus, such as flexibility, abs, detox, and post-work stress.
Relax Class
Time for some full classes! Strala’s RELAX class is a moving flow that releases tension throughout your entire body and mind.
Strong Class
Strala’s STRONG class is a moving flow that builds strength, balance, and flexibility evenly in the body while resting focus on the breath.

Testimonials
I have been doing yoga for 30 years. I have had teachers of all kinds. Taking lessons from [Tara] has been more useful to me than taking yoga from anyone else.
Love Tara Stiles. Best yoga instructor I've worked with. I didn't think yoga would be challenging for someone athletic like me. I really couldn't have been more wrong. It made me control and move my body in ways I never could before, and it was an amazing outlet for stress.
One of the things I like about Tara is her ability to make yoga accessible to people who might be scared of it or think it might be too esoteric.
Tara Stiles has got to be the coolest yoga instructor ever.
