Tanya began her yoga practice a year ago after moving into the Fort Myers area. She was looking to replace her long loved hobbie of surfing, which is not possible to maintain in Florida. Tanya was also looking to establish a stronger mind and body to control the years of back pain she has endured.

Yoga has helped to manage her back issues which has also allowed a greater degree of freedom in her life. Her training began with Jackie Chiodo at Joyful Yoga in the summer of 2005. Her goals through yoga are to stay physically, mentally, and emotionally constant through the challenges of life.

Tanya recently relocated to the area after spending four years living in Hawaii. She moved here to go back to school and enter the field of physical therapy. It is her hope and dream that the yoga will enhance her abilities to help and treat future patients and the knowledge from the physical therapy side will influence her yoga practice and instruction.

Tanya currently teaches at Joyful Yoga in Fort Myers and in Bonita Springs. Check the schedule for her class times.
