Why choose to do yoga with Tam?
Having benefited from weaving yoga and holistic therapies into my own life, I’m now passionate about sharing these tools with others.I want to provide a container for you to feel free to express yourself and feel held.
I believe yoga is for everyone of every age, size and fitness ability. It helps us to navigate a world in flux and cultivate a practice of profoundly positive self-transformation.
I am London based but my yoga journey started many years ago in 2001, attending classes growing up in Cape Town, South Africa.I’ve always loved expressing myself through movement of the body, having done dance as a hobby growing up. Being human and experiencing a range of emotion, it has become the most fundamental thing that makes me feel present, explorative and connected.
As the years went by, seeing the multiple benefits to the way I conducted myself in the world. We always have something new to learn about ourselves. What we are told and our imagination can colour our perception but we need to try to remain open and not colour the world, but rather let the world colour us. I became more inquisitive and began practicing on a daily basis and wanted to share this ancient practice with others.
“Yoga teaches you to trust your shadow to show you your light. Once the trust is there, your heart begins to smile and laugh at reflecting where you’ve been. You realize that somehow everything is perfect in the moment. Presence is the key.”
I have been teaching for over 8 years.

I previously studied a three-year diploma in Motion Picture Production Design and like to thread my experience from this into my classes. My mind thrives on creativity and visualisation and I have a love for colour, art, form, and the outdoors – with a particularly deep adoration for flowers, admiring their strength yet delicacy. I’m also fascinated by our world and all the wonderful humans in it.
