Yoga found Paula when a dear friend invited her to attend a community class in April of 2021 and she fell in love with changes she saw in herself, both inside and out. When given the opportunity to be a part of the first ever 200-hour yoga teacher training available in Harlingen through Yoga Alliance and at Aum Yoga Studio, she jumped at the chance. She is a firm believer in the power that positivity can bring in a group fitness setting, and she wants to share this with anyone who attends her classes. Paula was born and raised in Northern Maine and moved to South Texas in 1991. She has three children and has had the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom to them with the support of her beloved husband.

Paula is a 200-hour yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance having been a student of yoga since 2008. She was born and raised in Canada and moved to Boston in 1988 to work in clinical and research pathology labs. She moved to Texas in 1997; earned her master’s degree; and then married and started a family. Paula has taught biomedical sciences at both the high school and college level. Now with an empty nest (although her golden retrievers, Violet and Poppy would disagree), she is excited to explore this new chapter of her life teaching yoga in the community. Class - Thursday at 9:00am

Tara is a Harlingen, Texas native. With a background in gymnastics and cheerleading, she naturally gravitated towards yoga, and the freedom she found through the practice kept her coming back. Tara discovered the subtle alchemy of breathwork, meditation, and movement as a way to calm her mind and body. This internal practice allowed her to tune into herself and find the solution and spark she had searched for. As a Yoga Teacher, her goal is to share the gift of yoga and the empowerment and growth it fosters. She strives to create a space where students feel safe, supported, and heard. Tara believes that by showing up on our mats, we learn more about ourselves through the medicine of breath, meditation, and asana. No matter where you start, every BODY can practice yoga, and with dedication and consistency, the transformation is truly incredible. Tara is completing her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training – Yoga Alliance Certification through the RGV Yoga School – Yoga Studio of Corpus Christi and will graduate in September 2023. In her free time, she performs live singing gigs around town.
