Testimonials

I've been taking a Yoga Intensive with Sandra, her peaceful energy is truely come from inside out. when people teach you from their heart, you definitely feel it :) she is absolutely wonderful!
Boom Chappell (Sirilak Samanasak) Chiang Mai, May 2010

Dear Sandra,

Your explanation below is much appreciated. Thank you. I finally signed up for the Intermediate intensive, and I'm very glad I didn't miss it. It gave me a good opportunity to practice yoga with more strenuous efforts and to get myself exposed to new experience/ new people.

Through this email, I wanted to let you know that I have realized significant and unprecedented progress after regular practice with you over the past 7 weeks, and I am immesely satisfied with the result. My confidence and consciousness gained from this yoga immersion with you have positively changed my life which apparently seems to be calmer, livelier, and more mindful.

Thank you for paying close attention to every student in the class, assisting and correcting the postures when needed, and for creating intimate and relaxing learning environment. I'm very grateful for this and I'm very lucky to have met you.

If you ever come to Thailand for teaching again, please keep me informed on your schedule. I do hope our paths will cross again.

Safe travels Sandra,
Paew - Chokniti Khoosuwan, Chiang Mai 11 September 2009

I wanted to say a big thank you for guiding us through our yoga pratice in the 2nd week of Rebecca's fasting retreat. I really enjoyed it and was one of the daily highlights for me. You were always so positive and motivational and encouraging. Along with your lovely smile, it was very much appreciated. Thank you.

Then, in a pavilion above the gardens where the birds are still singing their morning song, it is Yoga with Tara. Her voice is soothing in low registers and a dusky French accent from an old movie. In her long, lithe, lean, perfectly conditioned body, she walks like a deer, but with two feet, light and firm upon the earth. She speaks in English, murmurs in ancient Sanskrit.

We do the sun salute and I feel the bones in my spine roll out, one at a time. Heart pounding, muscles shaking, I struggle with the difficult asanas (postures) and realise how much more strenuous yoga is than aerobics.

Tara has a, quietly joyous and gentle way with the art of yoga which makes the struggle pleasurable. I do not think of Tara as a woman, more like a running animal, her long stream of hair tied back into a tail; and her unadorned face reflecting the colt-like nature of her body. Later, I find out through Tara’s web site (www.Tara-Yoga-Now.com) about her early encounter with the Dalai Lama and the decades of patient study and practice with great masters in India, Nepal, Thailand and Bali that lie behind her exquisite form and tranquil mind.

Tara was great, very professional and always present and prepared. She emanates self respect that instills respect from others and a sense of trustworthiness in her expertise

Dear Sandra, It has been a real pleasure being with you in this time. You are really a very good yoga teacher. I enjoyed (and suffered!)
Maria in Goa February 2007.

It’s been great for me to build up some muscles + know that despite the tiredness I often feel I can be well + feel healthy !

A great start in the mornings + a different way of seeing the world from the headstand !.
Meditation retreat in Goa February 2007

Dear Sandra, Your soft and gentle character is very special and very precious. Also your smiles reached right to my heart. Your teaching is prepared and done with so much care and you feel what the students need.
Thanks you so much.
Nicola in Goa February 2007

Dear Sandra, Thank you very much for your teachings. You made us work but also you put a lot of energy and effort into your classes. You always had a well-prepared programme for us, corrected us and gave us lots of warm smiles. All the best to you.
Nicola

Sandra, Thanks for getting me back on the road in good shape, maybe see you in Thailand. Namaste. James, in meditation retreat in Goa, February 2007

Dear Sandra,
The yoga clases were, for me, some thing I’ve never done, but I enjoyed very much. I may suppose the long time and effort you have put in this, with love and compassion for health and life. Thank you for encouraging all of us.
