Tamara Chavarria Alvarez
GUEST TEACHER BIO
Tamara is a Costa Rican Yoga Teacher based in the countryside of Costa Rica by the slopes of the Poas Volcano. She lives by herself at the mountain, in the companion of her dog, cat and some other farm animals. She defines herself as a simple, sensitive and creative woman that loves the simple life and enjoys being surrounded by nature and silence. She spends her time sharing her love and devotion to Yoga with others, painting, drawing and photographing the beautiful small details of life.
She discovered the path of Yoga in 2004 while finishing her college studies, and since then she has been deepening her personal practice and exploring the alternative health lifestyle. Over 15 years ago she discovered her Dharma (mission/service of life) as a Yoga Teacher and started to share it at her home town Alajuela, where she became the pioneer of this discipline. Tamara received several workshops related to Yoga and more than 8 YTT, exploring a variety of styles such as: Ashtanga, Hatha, Anusara, Vinyasa, Yoga Nidra, Aerial and Therapeutic among others.
In addition to Yoga Practice Tamara has also explored alternative therapies such as: Reiki, Thai Yoga Massage, Feldenkrais Somatic Movement and Acupressure. And during the past 2 years has been sharing the practice of meditation, mindfulness and relaxation as a complement of the yoga asanas and breathing techniques.
Tamara’s Teaching Philosophy
Tamara enjoys sharing creative, safe and progressive sequences that explore the movement of the body and prana in a meditative state of mind. Her Yoga style is a combination of Hatha Yoga, Slow Flow and Vinyasa, but she has a lot to share in the Restorative, Yin and Relaxation practices too. Her main focus is to give students a field of self-exploration of their own potential by the asana flow and pranayama practice. She invites students to see within themselves, beyond their limits, in a space of silence, awareness and acceptance. Exploring the body, mind and their emotions during the practice as an opportunity for the evolution of the Spirit.
Curiosity is the reason for starting any type of practice, so it is fundamental to keep it while getting deeper into it. Curiosity and attention will lead us into a state of connection where knowledge can be revealed, and that is the main purpose of Yoga. To be in the present moment is the key for diving within us, her goal is to give a safe space for connection during the yoga practices.
