Tara, Lead Instructor - Beats, Bass & Breath: EDM Yoga
About State of Flow
Inspired by the hummingbird, I aim to find stillness in motion—honoring the many ways we each connect to presence through embodiment. This resilient, tiny bird travels great migratory journeys, trusting its inner knowing that it is on the right path. As an adult navigating life with ADHD, I’ve learned to see my neurodivergence as a unique rhythm — a source of creativity, empathy, and energy — when supported by the right structure and tools.
From this perspective, State of Flow Yoga was born — a community where movement and mindfulness come together to honor the full spectrum of the human experience. Here, we don’t fight against our nature; we flow with it. We explore ways to reconnect with ourselves, our bodies, and each other through breath, awareness, and creative expression.
Out of this philosophy emerged Beats, Bass & Breath — an EDM-inspired yoga dance flow that bridges mindfulness with music culture. It’s where yoga meets the dance floor — an invitation to move intuitively, release expectation, and rediscover joy through rhythm and connection. The heartbeat of BBB lives in community: a gathering of seekers, movers, and music lovers who believe that healing and self-expression can happen anywhere — even under the glow of stage lights or the pulse of bass.
My mission is to hold space where every person — neurodivergent, curious, creative, or simply human — can find their own state of flow. A place where presence feels like freedom, and movement feels like coming home.

I began the path to improve my personal wellbeing during my years in college when I attended my first yoga class. Stressed, overwhelmed, and experiencing depression, I was seeking a tool to help me feel more connected to myself. Yoga was the answer.
After a big move to San Diego from Colorado, I found my self in a local studio in Ocean Beach where I learned that we all experience this practice differently and that's ok. There is no right yoga body and no right way to experience embodiment. I decided to take the leap into yoga teacher training and I was never the same again. Teaching has always been a passion of mine - I was a high school teacher, a youth soccer coach, a camp counselor, and eventually became an assistant teacher to a few of the yoga teacher trainings at my home studio. I love teaching students and teachers, so much so that I went on to host a 200 hour trauma informed yoga teacher training with a colleague and we created our own organization working with youth and adults in addition to our trainings and workshops. Sharing these tools that have helped me so much in my own life fulfills me in a way that I cannot accurately express in words.
Outside of my passion for teaching yoga, I love creating art - painting, doodling, graphic arts, and photography, and I love being outside as much as possible connecting to nature. I've recently moved back to Colorado with my husband Kris, our two favorite California souvenirs: our son Parker and our dog aptly named Denver. We are so excited to return with a fresh perspective in this newest chapter of our lives.
