joyful. loving. fearless!
Both yoga and designing jewelry have invited more joy, love and fearlessness into my life. Embodying these allows me to be happier, more fulfilled, and to foster positive change and action. I hope I can inspire this in you through my jewelry and yoga teachings. Creating balance and fulfillment in our lives is important, and what helps me is to be joyful. loving. fearless!
Jewelry
As far back as I can remember I have been making jewelry. It started with big, bright, plastic beaded bracelets, then macrame and fimo, after that came the knotted twine with wooden beads. Then I discovered gemstone beads and their energies immediately drew me in. Since then I have worked almost exclusively with semi-precious and precious gemstones. Their variety, beauty and metaphysical meaning are second to none.
Designing jewelry is a creative outlet for me. Each piece has its own inspiration, and its purpose is to give physical expression to an idea, concept, experience, emotion or memory I am channeling. When I finish a piece I imbue it with the universally intelligent Reiki energy to enhance the innate powers and properties of the stones and metals. I hope that this helps to bring out your innate strengths and power too!
If you have questions or want to know more about a certain piece I have listed please email me.
Yoga
Almost ten years ago I went with a friend to my first yoga class. I had no idea the world I was about to enter. In this class I found myself twisted upside down, sweating like never before and loving it! Soon I was going to yoga as often as I could, I was hooked and I haven't looked back.
I found myself fearless in class, eager and willing to try any pose, and when I would fall over I would smile, laugh and try again. Now let me point out, this was not my general behavior outside of yoga, and I recognized this. So I made an effort to change. Now my awareness and compassion have grown. I am calmer, and can think and see more clearly. My fear of the unknown is diminishing. My heart is opening. Everyday I find myself becoming more joyful. loving. fearless! Yoga has been a blessing in my life and being able to share it is a dream come true.

“Over the past few months, my husband and I have enjoyed private yoga instruction with Tasha. We are both yoga novices who wanted a change from our regular exercise routine. Tasha is an intuitive and nurturing person who teaches yoga solely because she has a passion for it. She teaches appropriate form and technique to get the maximum benefit from each pose. Tasha is creative and keeps the sessions fun and physically challenging by building upon poses learned in prior classes. As beginners, my husband and I always felt encouraged by Tasha and we left each session feeling uplifted and with renewed energy. I have honestly yet to find another yoga instructor of Tasha’s caliber.” - Kristy Schug
