Tamara Page Furman

Tamara Page Furman has been a practitioner of yoga for 15 years and a teacher since 1997.

Following a five year teacher training course in the B.K.S. Iyengar School of Yoga, Tamara began to broaden her studies by incorporating principles of alignment from the Anusara system, as well as the techniques and spirtual teachings of Shri Dharma Mittra.

Tamara has formally studied and practiced Shamantha-Vipassana Buddhist meditation with Pema Chodrin and metta meditation with Sharon Salzberg. Profoundly informing her own practice, these systems and disciplines are reflected in her teaching style.

Tamara is founder of Discover & Recover Yoga, an organization promoting wellness of body, mind and spirit through the practices of yoga, meditation and chanting to patients in rehabilitation and other hospitalized communities, as well as in local schools and communities. Through her sensitive and caring guidance in these contexts and in her own workshops, Tamara shares with others how to work towards liberating oneself from old life patterns, reawakening inner strength, harmony and balance, and ultimately opening oneself to awakening ones inner Divinity.
