Reviews for University District Yoga

Highly recommended! I have attended the weekly Zoom class for a couple years now - Tara is very knowledgeable and a steady, inspiring teacher.

I have taken gentle yoga classes from Tara Bernstein for several years. She has a dedicated following because of her care and attention to her client's individual limitations and needs.

Tara has successfully transitioned her class to on-line and I am grateful to still enjoy weekly yoga.
