Kripalu yoga in New York City, for anyone carrying too much.
This practice doesn’t ask you to perform
AKYTARA is Kripalu-rooted yoga in New York City, drawing on Hatha and breathwork. Inward, supported, paced to you. It begins with the breath and opens into gentle movement that lets a busy mind settle. No pushing, no straining, nothing to fix.
A donation-based Kripalu class in Central Park, Saturdays at 9am. Open to everyone, beginners most of all.
Learn about the class
I’ve practiced yoga for twenty years, not as a class I attended, but as the thing I came back to through every demanding season. I know what it is to be accomplished and depleted at the same time.
That’s what drew me to Kripalu. Swami Kripalu taught what he called the householder path: yoga built for people who stay in the world rather than step out of it. That’s who I teach. I trained in this tradition so I could put it in your hands.

I’ve sat in those rooms. I know what a depleted team looks like from the inside, and how to give them an hour back. Corporate and team sessions across NYC.

“This class is where I come back to myself. The highlight of my week.”
Teddy Graham · Upper East Side
Some things don’t happen in a group class. Working one to one, we build a Kripalu practice around where you actually are, your stress, your sleep, the week you’re really living.
Accomplished, capable, and running closer to empty than you let on.
A room full of people isn’t restful. You would rather be met where you are.
Not a generic sequence. A practice built around your body, your week, your stress.
For a while now. Something always crowds it out. This is a way in.
“Having Tara come to my apartment makes it so easy to fit yoga into my week. Every session leaves me feeling calmer, more present, and completely recharged.”
