Description
compassionate communication
About
How you think matters.
What you say to yourself and others matters.
How you say it matters.
How you listen matters.
Communication is an art form. This session is an opportunity to practice your unique artistic expression with tangible exercises that help you to focus on and discern what you might be feeling, why you might be feeling it, and what you might want to do about it in particular situations.

How is this an expression of Patañjali’s Yoga?
In the first pāda (book) of the Yoga Sūtra, Patañjali describes seven antidotes to distractions that prevent us from even beginning our engagement in yoga practice. The following antidote is the inspiration for this session:
Yoga Sūtra I.35
Sanskrit Language with Devanāgarī Alphabet:
विषयवती वा प्रवृत्तिरुत्पन्ना मनसः स्थितिनिबन्धिनी
International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST):
viṣayavatī vā pravṛttir-utpannā manasaḥ sthiti nibandhanī
An English Translation:
Or [note: this comes in the middle of the list of antidotes] by binding the mind into stillness to observe the contents of the mind as they arise.
This antidote (YS I.35) guides you to practice resting your focus in one place. This allows you to strengthen your muscle of noticing, overpowering and checking harmful tendencies as they arise (see also YS III.9-.10), ultimately leading to a reduction in mental strife.
This Compassionate Communication session is an expression of this antidote in practice.

Welcome! I am grateful for the opportunity to share this digital space with you. My name is Tara (they/them) and I am a Yoga philosophy teacher.
My vision is an uprising of the one person revolution, where every human being has the freedom to choose to take effective self-responsibility. As such, my offerings center on empowering clients to take charge of, and be responsible for, their own life.
I have completed 575 certified hours in Yoga studies, and am currently in the midst of completing 100 continuing education hours. I am also in the process of becoming a Certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication. You can find out more about my experience here: www.theonepersonrevolution.org/about-tara/#experience.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC, aka Compassionate Communication) is – in my experience – an incredible tool for self study and tracing habitual responses to their root, consistently putting me in the driver’s seat of my life in a gentle and effective way.
NVC also helps me to connect with other humans across lines of difference, and assists me in nervous system regulation when that connection across difference is challenging.
It is a very effective modality and I am excited to share it with you in this session!
To be totally honest with you, I’ve had a lot of online workshops through my work and I don’t feel the same sense of connectedness that you manage to create.. that sense of community.
It’s because of the people, the smaller group, and the fact that you’ve successfully created something where we’re tuned in. It’s interactive.
So yours are the only online workshops that I really enjoy!
It can’t be easy to do when you’re not there in person, to still connect everyone and make sure that everyone’s included and no one feels left out
But you’ve really successfully created that environment where everyone is welcome, and where I can share and where I still feel part of the community, even though it’s online.”
“The content that Tara gives- I’ve never seen it before.
Tara holds online sacred space and healing work. I feel so caught in between speechless and bursting with ALL the words of love, delicious contemplation, inspiration, excitement and deep humility when I think of expressing what gifts Tara has shared with me and others.”
