Hey guys I'm Tara and I am a doctor of physical therapy and a yoga teacher. My area of expertise in PT includes orthopedics and pelvic health. I am passionate about health and fitness and hope to convey this to you all through my channel. For my fitness routine I combine weight lifting and yoga and will be providing videos on how I do this. I am also an animal advocate and environmentalist. Hope you enjoy.

I want to make a froggy style joke but instead I'll just say: I feel like the sphinx pose is just laying down. And I'm here for that. 😂
❤
thank you for watching!
Hello Tara! Thank you for this channel and the videos you have made thus far, I am kindly requesting if could you please make a tutorial of the proper way to perform the following seated leg warm up exercises (1) Ankles Bending, (2) Ankles Rotations, and (3) Toes Bending, with same viewpoint as in this video and with legs position facing towards the camera, Thank you in advance 😊🙏
I was doing my Bible study and looked at my phone, and saw slow living on my Google feed, clicked on it and got you...YEAH! I SOOOO needed to hear this! However, as I'm listening to you, I am rearranging my pantry 😂😂. I am retired almost 2 years and have not slowed down 😢!! I feel the need to constantly be going & doing ALL the time, and when I do sit down I feel guilty. Btw, I've been this way my entire life. How do I break the cycle? Any/all thoughts are welcome. You have a new subscriber. Be blessed
Thank you so much for subscribing! I'm so happy to have you here 😃The fact that you've recognized your need to slow down means that you're already on the right path! Continue to remind yourself to be present and in the moment, even during simple tasks like rearranging the pantry 😊 Focus on the task at hand, and let yourself fully experience it without rushing. For me, meditation is also really helpful for remembering to slow down. Usually directly after I meditate, I find that I am naturally moving at a slower, more intentional pace. Hope this helps, sending love and blessings your way!
Much appreciation for responding, and your suggestions. I listened again, and will definitely follow your steps. In addition to meditation. Thank you. I have also added this to my daily affirmation "I am choosing where to slow down and where to let life's natural rhythm guide me"
@@jaycee6814 Of course, I'm so happy that this video resonated with you. Also, that is such a beautiful affirmation and honestly a reminder I needed for myself today, to let life's natural rhythm guide me. Thank you for sharing 😊
what is the best way to get used of heel towards bum if you have trouble doing this
If you can't reach your foot with your hand, a great option is to use a strap!
@@drtarasalay thanks I will try it
tits!!!!!!!!
I appreciate how you speak about spiritual health when it comes to the healing process. I know personally that it is a powerful tool. Years ago, after visiting my doctor, I had a moment of absolute faith in the Divine's ability to heal my MS, and the next day I was symptom-free! Thank you for the great video and blessings to continue inspiring people in their healing journey.
Wow, that is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible experience. It's truly inspiring to hear a story like this. And thank you for your kind words about the video, wishing you continued blessings on your journey. 💕
Blessings to you as well 🥰🌺🌼🌹🌻
What does it mean when i close my eyes i can see my brain and the brain waves? I can't look at my brain to long because my eyes really hurt. I been able to see my brain and my brain waves since i was a child. Thank you for the answers.
Wow, that's fascinating! While I'm not entirely sure what it means, my thoughts are maybe that it is a unique intuitive ability. Very cool!
@@drtarasalay Thank you. I tried googling it but nothing. I think you are right, I have an unique talent, just wish I knew what it means. Not knowing what you have is frustrating. I wish I could help people with my gift, just don't know how. Thank you for replying back. You and your family stay safe and blessed.
Thank you for not being preachy.
No problem thanks for practicing with me ! 😊
The postures need perfect balance to be effective. These poses are challenging for a beginner. Is there a risk of stretch injury to pelvic organs from the stretches?
I wouldn't think there would be a risk of that unless you have something like a pelvic organ prolapse, but if you have concerns please consult with your doctor! This playlist consists of all beginner friendly yoga poses which you may find helpful 😊: kzread.info/head/PL4WUoMPObLXeSghWPHlEkN9PMPeMx78lE
Immediately knew you were also from Long Island♥️ thank you for this meditation!
lol can't hide that accent! 😆No problem glad you enjoyed it💕
You could add "for beginners" on this video. It was slower than the other two with less movement. I will stick with those two. Thank you for your videos.
So sorry for your loss 😢
Do I ever need this video 😮
😆😆
This was informative yet simple. Love your videos
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
Love this one
😃😃
You have done a fantastic job explaining this concept in simple words. Relaxation is much more difficult than high-intensity exercise. Tara, please do a video on spirituality at work.
Thank you I'm so glad to hear this! and thank you for the video suggestion I appreciate it 😃
Thank you , I do your other videos daily x
No problem! Glad you have some more variety now 😃😄
I really enjoy listening to you, the information you share is easy to absorb (no pun intended), and the tips are right on! 😊. I am now a new subscriber!
So glad to hear that, thank you! And welcome to the channel 😃
Thank you so much! I do one of your osteoporosis videos every day and it's so nice to add a third!
No problem! Glad you have some more variety now 😃
So what happens if you can see when you have your eyes closed and feel like your touching your eye when you touch your forhead space. Is that the pineal gland?
Thanks for watching! This is an interesting question. When you can see with your eyes closed, it may be related to the concept of the third eye. The third eye is thought to represent intuition and a deeper sense of perception beyond the physical senses. In a spiritual sense, many believe that the third eye is connected to the pineal gland.
To learn how to get on and off the floor while keeping the spine straight, check out this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqKVxbehadHQm7Q.html Here I teach you a safe way to get on and off the floor when you have osteoporosis. This is a full yoga practice so if you just want to learn the transition, then skip to the 41 second mark and then 18 minute 50 second mark in the video. There you will learn how to get down to the floor and then how to get back up from the floor. Just know that the way I teach it in this video does require decent leg strength and good balance.
If you have difficulty getting on and off the floor while keeping the spine straight in the way I show in this video, check out this NEW OSTEOPOROSIS YOGA PRACTICE: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqKVxbehadHQm7Q.html Here I teach a new way to get on and off the floor while keeping the spine straight that may be easier for you!

This was great. You are so concise and to the point about something so complicated. Thank you, God bless.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😀
Well if the objective is connection with the body, wouldn't feldenkrais work?
yes, somatic yoga is very similar to the feldenkrais method.
@@drtarasalay Thanks. Where can I read about the theory behind somatic yoga?
@@regina6838 No problem! I have a blog post on my website that goes into a little more detail on somatic yoga: drtarasalay.com/somatic-yoga-exercises/ Hope this helps!
@@drtarasalay Great! Great! Great! 🌷💚

Somehow without formal yoga training naturally sometimes I feel sitting in Child's Pose without knowing such existed before now. It suits all muscles and tendons and relax me. Didn't even know it helps. I did truly opened the third, but I have trouble navigating trough the ether. Usually it does it on it's own for what it decide important. I have troubles with getting to sleep, so I started using it as a remedy to that, before I know it I am off. It comes easy to empaths. It's a mechanism against bad people reaching to it's potential.
Thank you for watching. I'm glad to hear that you have been having success connecting with your third eye! It's so cool to see how our intuition can guide us to what we need.
Have you opened your third eye chakra?
I would say overall yes! There are definitely times where I am more open to receiving spiritual messages than others but overall my 3rd eye has felt pretty open since starting my spiritual journey.
Thank you I hope mine opens too
Thank you for this excellently produced, highly educating, and enjoying video. I really appreciate you sharing your wisdom is such concise, meaningful, and practical ways.
No problem thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad this resonated with you 😃
Try meditating in the usa
Great video and poses for osteopenia. Ty.
No problem! :)
are these safe for those with osteoporosis truly appreciate these videos, oops maybe except for the downward facing dog :)
Thank you for your comment! 😊I didn't create this practice with osteoporosis in mind, so while some poses may be safe, others might not be the best choice. I recommend checking out my osteoporosis specific videos for a practice tailored to your needs.
@@drtarasalay got that! thank you so much
Great class! 😊
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 😃
I am getting a liking to your videos. I started watching them recently. I don't know much about yoga. Do you have a video on the basic principles of yoga? That will help me to connect with the yoga philosophy. Thank you, Tara.
So glad you're enjoying my channel! I don't know if I have a specific video on the basics of yoga philosophy but that is something I should film! I do have a blog post on this topic though which you can find here: drtarasalay.com/what-is-the-true-meaning-of-yoga/ If you are looking for a more beginner friendly class, this class focuses on the foundational poses in vinyasa yoga: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X6iW2tWJc7PQmLg.html Hope this helps!
Great video ❤

Thanks so much! 😃😃
useless
Thank you, very helpful
No problem, glad you found it helpful. Thanks for practicing with me 😃
Same story here. After several years of PT appointments, massages, rehabilittaions and still a debilitating SI joint and hip pain, I finally was convinced by my husband to find a trainer and start weight lifting. After a year, I am basically pain-free (same as you, a light flare-up every now and then, but it always goes away quickly). I wonder how many people could get rid of pain and live pain-free lives, if they only tried weight training... Sad that there are basically NO doctors who would suggest that solution...
So glad to hear that you finally found relief! Isn't is amazing how making your body strong can make such a difference 😃
Very nice today I have started this yoga practice
Thanks for joining me in this practice! Hope you enjoyed it 😀
Tara, I am new to your channel and subscribed. I am looking for advice on sleeping better. I have insomnia. Please do a video on sleeping well.
Welcome! Glad to have you here. I'm sorry you are struggling with this. Thank you for the video suggestion, I will keep this in mind when I am planning content!I In the meantime, I do have some content on my channel about unwinding in the evening to help you sleep. This is a video about creating a night routine to help you unwind before bed: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aGGoz8yCnZC_grQ.html If you practice yoga and are interested, this is an evening yoga practice to do before going to bed: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i62dj8Gke82yhMo.html And this is a video on finding a comfortable sleeping position, not sure if you struggle with this but figured I'd include it in case: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qIakmNuHkcvWqNo.html Hope this helps!
@@drtarasalay Tara, I watched your video on the night routine. It was pretty calming. I wonder what other ways exist for the soul apart from looking at the moon. Would you please suggest?
@@BohemianSocialist Glad you enjoyed it! You can do anything that helps you to feel connected on a soul level. One of my other favorite ways is to do a mantra practice. Meditation is also great for this!
You had a hot figure😂by doing yoga
I was enjoying your content but I’m sorry to say I’ll be unsubscribing because of your repeated use of expletives. I am hoping to find someone with the same wonderful advice without offensive (to me) words. All the best to you!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, I appreciate your honesty and respect your decision. While I do my best to express myself authentically, I also respect that everyone has different comfort levels when it comes to language. Wishing you all the best on your journey. If you ever decide to return, you're always welcome here.
