Teacher of the Month April 2015 – Tara Thompson

The Teacher of the Month for April 2015 has been awarded to the lovely Tara Thompson. Tara has shown great dedication and commitment in building and maintaining both her YogaBellies for Women and YogaBelliesKidz businesses as well as positively promoting the YogaBellies brand. Although we had a very high standard of other teachers in the running for this award we feel that Tara truly merits the award for this month.

Hey…. I’m Tara, the lucky mum of 2 amazing little people Seth & Eli.

Life with a 2 year old & 1 year can be pretty hectic and starting my own business when my youngest was just 4 months was definitely a challenge. It has been lots of hard work but has ultimately allowed me to work around my family. I love the work life balance that I have and being able to make all my choices around my family is so rewarding.

I love all things YogaBellies and both my boys are YogaBellies babies. I attended YogaBellies for Pregnancy and Mum & Baby Yoga with the boys and loved how both classes gave me time out to relax, bond with the baby and focus on the exciting journey ahead. When Eli my youngest started to crawl and we finished up Mum & Baby Yoga I was desperate to take him to Toddler Yoga but nobody was offering this at the time. It therefore felt like a natural progression for me to join the YogaBellies team and start up Little Angels Toddler Yoga. I now run 2 Little Angel Toddler Yoga Classes in Belfast and I absolutely love teaching this age group. It is so much fun taking the children on different adventures each week and using nature and animals as our postures.

In under a year I have been in the very fortunate position to take on 2 YogaBellies franchises in the Belfast Area and am currently the only YogaBelliesKidz teacher in Northern Ireland. I offer Pregnancy Yoga, Mum & Baby Yoga, Little Angels Toddler
