Tammy Bosler began studying Yoga in 1999 in southern California with Juris Zinsberg. Since then, she has participated in hundreds of hours of classes, workshops, retreats, and private instruction primarily with teachers from the Viniyoga tradition, particularly from the American Viniyoga Institute (AVI). She completed a 500 hour teacher training certification from AVI in 2007 and wrote a Yoga Teachers’ Guide to Yoga with Pregnant Women for the AVI program. She has taught both adults and children part-time in group classes and through individual training sessions since 2002. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 500) through International Yoga Alliance T01-YA-TEACHER-RYT-500.png

She completed a doctorate in physics in 2004 at the University of California Irvine. Her academic background in astrophysics gives her a particularly analytical approach to Yoga both in her personal practice and as a teacher. Tammy has primarily worked in the fields of astronomical research and science policy since 2004 though teaching Yoga has been integrated into her time from the beginning of her professional training.

She has integrated over 18 years of Yoga practice with her training to develop her own approach to teaching and practice that is strongly rooted in the ancient traditions but also reflective of modern interests and orientations. Her teaching style is directed toward the therapeutic applications of Yoga to the life of the individual. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are the primary guiding principles to her teaching and personal practice. People who work with Tammy learn how to use Yoga to enrich the quality of their lives from improving physical health to stress reduction and an increased sense of well being. In particular, she likes to ask students to consider why it is called Yoga ‘practice’ – Any kind of ‘practice’ is taking you towards a goal; What is your goal?

She often offers the use of chanting, Yoga postures, breath work, visualization, self-reflection, and meditation in many of her classes based on the interests and needs of the students along with some other practices that can support one along the journey of life. People often ask, “Is this class OK for me?” Most classes are built for the students, so if you come to a class with her, you are walking in to ‘your’ Yoga class.

In 2012, 2014, and 2016, she assisted Mirka Scalco Kraftsow in the Path to Wholeness retreats in Assisi, Italy. Tammy’s retreat blogs documents an amazing week of healing and learning – the 2012 story can be found here and the 2014 journey is here!

Mirka and Tammy continue their collaborative efforts in ‘virtual’ Yoga classes via teleconferences and in-person workshops.

Tammy is currently working to combine her extensive technical skills and interests toward helping to build mechanisms for Yoga teachers to reach students utilizing different media platforms. Stay tuned for more details of that work.

Tammy is currently residing in Regensburg, Germany and will be building classes and workshops.
