TANIA

Co-hosting this retreat with my soul sister Christina Marie is very exciting, as we are aligned with creative vision, core values and a commitment to the Art of Play. 

 My offering is a creative expression, a dance of communicating love and support for fellow beings. People intrigue me. Each individual is a treasure trove of gifts and talents. I have always fascinated over what makes folks thrive. 

My work encourages students to step onto a path to enhance themselves in a lasting way. Whatever our learning platform, there is enormous capacity for healing wellness within a mutually expansive experience. That connection to my clients offers me an ever-enriching career that brings rewards with each encounter. 

As a yoga instructor, therapeutic massage and craniosacral therapist, I offer 23+ years of knowledge in our sessions. Please allow me to celebrate and elevate your construct- mentally, physically and spiritually, to help you achieve your most balanced, vibrant version of yourself.

Please consider scheduling (private) healing energetics session during the retreat. I’d be honored to assist you on thoughtful, nurturing level of discovery and healing, one-on-one.

What others say about tania

“Tania is an extraordinarily talented healer and guide. She was able to bring me a piece of myself that was previously invisible and inaccessible to me. By guiding me through my central channel, I was able to connect with source and literally see my own inner light shining. I treasure the memory, and it fuels and informs my daily life in the present to shape my future more beautifully. I'm forever grateful to Tania, and wish words could more easily convey the magic that she truly embodies and is capable of.”

“As a yoga practitioner for 50+ years, I consider myself very fortunate to have found Tania as my teacher for the last several years. Her approach is informed by her in-depth training in anatomy and massage. As a result, her yoga classes include highly specific alignment and movement cues that activate muscle attachment points as well as big muscle groups. This approach encourages us to go deeper to address the anatomical details of good overall skeletal and muscular alignment. Plus, she has an engaging, soothing and caring personality that keeps me challenging myself and growing in my practice...in my 70's! She's the real deal.”

“Tania has the unique ability to take you deep into yoga practice while educating and mentoring along way. She will gently take you past your self-limiting edge and open up your mind and body giving you a greater appreciation for yoga as well as your own body.”

"I consider myself deeply blessed to know and work with Tania. She is a strong and gentle healer with a wealth of holistic healing experience spanning decades. As a yoga and meditation teacher she has provided tailored, personalized guidance and adjustments for my body's needs and my personal intentions. She creates so much safety in all of her work, and I have experienced that most profoundly as a massage client. Massages with Tania are a full-sensory healing experience and I cannot recommend her services highly enough!"

The Invitation

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon.

I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true

I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.

If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, ‘Yes.’

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.

I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
