Tara’s Psychology degree from James Madison University, Elementary Education License from Mary Baldwin College, and coaching certification from Yoga2Life give her a studied foundation for helping others, but it’s her natural instincts and open heart that help students see the best in themselves.Īsheville, NC is Tara’s hOMe, and she spends much of her time around the country and outside of holding workshops, retreats, classes, and presenting at festivals. Mentees are not told what to do but instead empowered to listen within with offered guidance- never forced, and always an open-minded invitation to explore. And while there are general cues throughout of “warrior” and “downward dog” (almost always accompanied by their Sanskrit name), one is also just as likely to hear cues of “listen to the animal within,” “move through honey, “ride the wave of your breath,” or, simply, just an encouragement to “dance.” Her mentoring and life coaching sessions follow a similar pattern. Students are not told what to do, they are empowered to listen to their own bodies. When practicing with Tara, no two classes or workshops are ever the same. She continued to follow what she knew and trusted her path to be, and she obtained her 500 hour RYT through Om On Yoga under the guidance and wisdom of Jennifer Elliott. By the end of 2009, she received her 200 hour RYT under Arlene Bjork and Grace Yoga Training Systems.

And instead of approaching that flame fearing the heat, she chose to approach it with love, stoking the fire that was burning within for her passion of yoga. Tara felt that call in 2007 when she first felt the spark of a tiny flame. Weaving its way into the provided space and landing wherever it is intended. Having prepared her body and mind to become that bow - that vessel - that lesson…letting that arrow fly. And so she enters each class, each workshop, each lesson. She grew up with a bow and arrow in her hands, learning to pull back with just enough aim and control to send her arrow into the abyss, knowing and trusting it would hit its intended mark. Teaching was Tara’s Dharma long before she realized it. But Tara Eschenroeder offers a different experience.

With some teachers, the lessons are planned.
