Tara, a passionate Pilates instructor certified by Breath Education, found her calling at a Barefoot Studio. Initially drawn to Pilates for post-childbirth strength, she fell in love with its transformative impact on the body and mind. 

Tara's love for horses and horse riding growing up has also influenced her teaching approach. She emphasizes the importance of alignment, balance, and control, much like the connection between a rider and their horse. This unique perspective sets her apart as an instructor and allows her to create a supportive and inspiring environment for her students.

With her warm and approachable nature, Tara believes in Pilates' ability to enhance both physical and mental well-being. She tailors classes to be enjoyable for everyone whether you're a beginner or seasoned pilates practitioner, Tara is dedicated to helping individuals achieve their fitness goals.
