Founder
Tara Powers
Seeking from a young age the peace and self control yoga promised, Tara found herself studying and practicing diligently.
First with magazine articles and books, then with VHS tapes and DVDs, then incense filled rooms, and then crowded, sweaty rooms of determined, healing humans.
Yoga is the practice of both living and dying; it is confrontational, intense, and powerful, likewise it is nurturing, fortifying, and clarifying.
In yoga we practice death, so we remember how to really live.

Movement Teacher
Amber Butler
Based in Springfield, Ohio, Amber teaches yoga, facilitates ritual gatherings, and hosts monthly moon circles that blend movement, mythology, meditation, seasonal ritual, and storytelling. Through her creative platform, Flying Fox, she explores cyclical living, ancestral wisdom, and the beauty of becoming, cultivating a community devoted to depth over performance and presence over perfection.
Whether guiding students through an asana practice, ritual, meditation, or energetic work, Amber creates spaces where mysticism meets grounded embodiment. Her offerings invite students to slow down, reconnect with the wisdom of the body, and remember that transformation is not something we wait for—it is something we practice through presence, devotion, and the courage to continually become. Ultimately, her work is an invitation for each student to discover their own personal myth—to listen for the story emerging from within and to courageously embody the life that is asking to be lived.
