I have been practising yoga since my twenties and have had many wonderful teachers in different styles of yoga - including Ashtanga, Iyengar and Hatha traditions. My own yoga journey has recently led me to develop my meditation practice, as I truly believe that yoga and meditation can bring life changing benefits. I would like to see these simple, affordable practices introduced and used by more people - in schools, businesses, in the community - in fact, anywhere where there is a need for calm, focus and compassion.
Inspiring teachers and ongoing study influence my own teaching, but my main commitment is to the people I teach. My aim is to encourage people to develop their own interests and abilities. I am particularly interested in yoga therapy and how yoga can be adapted to the individual during different stages of life. I write regularly on yoga and health and my work has appeared in a number of publications including Om magazine, Yoga and Health, Spectrum, Yoga Magazine and Yoga International. I have broadcast experience, commenting and advising on health, yoga and other areas. I am also a York Learning Mindfulness and Wellbeing Tutor and run Wellness at Work training and workshops.
Regular workshops reflect my training and interest in a number of related areas including: trauma, death, dying and bereavement, sleep and adapting yoga to individual needs to enhance mental and physical wellbeing.
Yoga Teacher Training is a way to 'give back' some of the knowledge, insights and inspiration that I have received from others over the years and I continue to be grateful to all the wonderful students that practise with me.

My journey with yoga began at a young age. I attended my first ashtanga yoga class at 14, although I had already been introduced to yoga through my mother, practising together from an early age. What started as a personal interest gradually became a lifelong passion.
After university and a professional career, I made the decision to retrain in areas that would not only enrich my own life, but also allow me to support others in experiencing the physical and mental benefits of yoga and complementary therapies.
I now teach a range of group classes and offer one-to-one sessions in Pocklington and the surrounding area, welcoming all levels of experience. My teaching blends traditional yoga principles with a modern, accessible approach, helping students build strength, flexibility and confidence in their practice.
Alongside my yoga teaching, I am also a qualified therapist and reflexologist, offering holistic treatments that support relaxation, balance and overall wellbeing, further information can be found at www.tarajacob.co.uk.
Whether you are completely new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, I aim to create a supportive and welcoming space where you can move, breathe and reconnect.
