Welcome back, everyone.

I am so humbled and grateful today to be talking to my yoga idol and huge mentor of mine,

Tara Stiles, is here at Wonderland.

And you know Tara, I'm sure, if you read my blog, because I mention her often.

She is a fellow Midwesterner who lives in New York City and travels the world,

teaching people about the amazingness of yoga and how to truly find your ease in the challenges

both on and off the yoga mat.

Her videos with recipe videos and blogs and her knitted hats that are so

amazing are all wonderful and I link to them all the time and I'll have them all below. But

she's so passionate about everything that she does and it really bleeds into all of her different

projects from her clothing line with

Reebok to her books to her videos and I just respect and connect with her so much truly.

So I'm thrilled today to be able to have a conversation with her. Thanks for stopping by

the Wellness Wonderland, Tara. Oh my goodness. Thanks so much for having me to the wellness wonderland. I'm

really happy to be here. Yay. You're amazing. Okay, cool. Well, I have a lot I want to ask you, but I would

love to zoom the lens back a little bit and talk about how you found your way to yoga. I've heard

before that you've talked about how you, you know, used to meditate with the trees outside as a kid.
