Our journey
Our Milestones.
Moments that shaped Tallaro — from a soft opening in the garden to retreats that still echo in the heart.
-
Soft Opening
Tallaro opened its garden doors with a soft opening, three days before the grand opening, with singing bowls, string lights, and our first circle of friends.
-
Grand Opening
The grand opening of Tallaro — mats unrolled in the pavilion, breath shared, and a community beginning to take root.
-
International Yoga Day
Our first overnight retreat — Tallaro’s very first retreat — held on International Yoga Day, when the garden held us from dusk into dawn.
-
30th Donation-Based Sunday Community Yoga, Meditation & Sound Healing
Our 30th donation-based Sunday gathering of yoga, meditation, and sound healing — a weekly open circle where anyone can arrive, move, and belong.

Our story
Yoga as a way of living.
We started Tallaro because we discovered yoga not just as a movement practice, but as a spiritual practice and a way of living. Our teachings are based on the traditions and rooted in mindfulness — a quieter path back to yourself, shared in the garden, together.
