“I’ve known Tamara for 4 years now.  When I first moved to the beautiful town of Whangamata, the first thing I did was join the gym.  Tamara was the owner of the Whangamata gym at that time and she has a WEALTH of knowledge.  My focus was to align mind, body and soul so I opted for yoga rather than usual gym stuff, and that’s what I first loved about Tamaras gym, there was diversity.  I had touched on it when I lived in Auckland but it was very hard to find a gym that offered regular yoga classes – it was as if they couldn’t be in the same space because they were contradictory to each other.  But Tamara HAD incorporated them into her gym which gave me a sense that she understood my needs.  When Tamara moved on from the gym, she set up a home studio for her classes.  Yoga was my focus and love, so I would attend her daily sessions at her home studio.  We then moved on to her current studio which allowed Tamara to focus on providing more specialised and precise services to her clientele.  I do Tamaras regular yoga and have taken up powerplate to increase my fitness.  Her hammock yoga classes allow me to remember being a child – it is playful, freeing and confidence building (something I have lost over my years).  Everything that I do with Tamara is for the betterment of my health.  Tamara has many years of experience in the health and fitness industry and this makes me feel confident in her ability to help me achieve my goals.  She also keeps herself current with changing trends and new information in her field.  She does not judge and she offers full support backed up with her experience and knowledge.  I love that she supports us all, from local athletes, the aged and infirm, men and women alike.  She has a way about her that makes you feel that fitness is not something we do for a moment to achieve a goal, it is a lifestyle and it is attainable on a daily basis.  I would highly recommend Tamara to anyone who wants to be the best version of themselves.  The different classes she has, gives many options to dip a toe into a world that may seem daunting at first but, before you know it, your swimming in a sea of tranquillity with a healthy body and healthy mind.”
