She is committed to cultivating a  practice that is warm and welcoming for students to move through a  personal process, finding union of body, mind and heart. They are guided  to access profound levels of insight and freedom, reconnecting to  inherent wisdom, to heal and dissolve barriers that separate us from  ourselves and each other. Ultimately, her intention is to share  techniques to align with radiance from the inside out; connection to  Self, connection to others beyond name and form, connection to spirit,  universal consciousness and love.

She is bicultural and has an intimate understanding of east  and west which informs her teaching. Tami is currently based in Seattle  WA.

There  will be a yoga class each morning and evening in the beautifully  restored barn yoga space or in the outdoor shala overlooking the orange  garden.

 Each morning will begin with a yoga class which will  include meditation and movement focused on asanas, attuning the mind to  the breath. The evening class will be more gentle and restorative.  Classes will be progressive and inclusive for all levels.

Between  classes you can take a walk through the almond and olive groves, have a  massage with a local therapist, swim in the freshwater infinity pool,  or you can head out for the day to explore wonderful sandy beaches or  Sicilian historical towns all very nearby.
