Tara Diva Fungenzi
I am originally from Oahu Hawaii. In 99' II moved to California to attend University and received a Masters in Botany at Humboldt State in 2009.. After my immersion in the sciences I have been traveling the world, but still consider Northern California and Hawaii home. Yoga and meditation has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I grew up going to yoga classes with my dad, and have had the practice and it's teachings a part of me ever since. Yoga as I was taught is the opening of the heart through the opening of the body. In 2014 I completed a 200hr YTT at Shambhava Yoga Konalani in Hawaii. Since then I have also completed a 300hr Advanced Teacher Training at Yandara Yoga Institute in Baja MX. My interests in ways to move the body and open the heart and mind are multifaceted. I also enjoy the upbeat fusion of Buti Yoga and am Advanced Buti Certified. In addition to having a strong asana practice, I believe we all have the ability to be the best version of ourselves, as such I am a Certified Life Coach. I am registered with Yoga Alliance and you can find me on Instagram @yogamanasol.
