Tara Durnil, Life Wind Yoga

W. Durnil is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS). I have been a student of yoga since 2013, when I began taking classes after the birth of my son. I fell in love with yoga and it became an integral part of my life which lead me to receive my 200 RYT certification in June of 2019, under the study of Erin Smith, at The OM Place in Winchester Kentucky. I also continued and completed my 300 RYT in April of 2020, under the tutelage of Laura Burkhart, through Laura Burkhart Yoga. I have since then been a 500 RYT though Yoga Alliance. I believe yoga is for Everybody and Every Body and that yoga will meet you wherever you are on your own life journey. I love to offer a challenging class, while paying attention to form, alignment and offering modifications, but rounding it out with some self-care through breathing and longer held stretches. By degree, I hold a Master of Music in Vocal Performance in 2009, from the University of Louisville, where I studied under Edith Tidwell. I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree, focus in Vocal Music, from Bellarmine University in 2007, where I studied under Barry Lawrence and Dr. Alexander T. Simpson. I’ve been a returning member of the Kentucky Opera Chorus since 2006, singing in many shows such as Carmen, Lucia di Lammermoor, Dialogue of the Carmelites, La Traviata, La Boheme, Tosca, Merry Widow, The Mikado and Dead Man Walking. I actively sing around the Louisville area, and can often be found at my home church, Christ Church Cathedral, singing most Sundays. I have been with my husband, Michael, for over 17 years, I am Mom to a viola playing college aged daughter and videogame loving little boy. I love to get into a yoga class whenever possible, enjoy knitting, cooking, reading, gardening, spending time with close friends, and sitting in our hammock by the creek whenever I can.
