About Embodied Flow

Embodied Flow™ was created in 2014, as the first school to bring the Somatic landscape of Body Mind Centering ®, the non-dual technology of Tantra, and the laboratory of free movement into the container of yoga. Since then the system has blossomed as a movement that has inspired change in the methodology of yoga in over 40 countries.

In Tara’s Words

"How do we to activate our entire self and bring online the totality of being?"

The search for freedom has always been part of my personal dance: Over the last 30 years, I have looked to philosophy, psychology, dance, and religion. I read, traveled, journaled, fell apart. The first big step towards the path of unity for me was the discovery of the world of yoga; the second was the world of meditation. Though these two disciplines overlap and influence each other I still felt their intersection missing an essential link.  After teaching the two for many years and looking for the missing link, an associate told me, ‘Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen is the bridge between meditation and movement’ and introduced me to the world of Body-Mind Centering®.  This opening to the embodiment practices revolutionized my living experience and put me on a search for how to most efficiently bring this living experience to the most people.

The result is Embodied Flow, a yoga practice that integrates the biomechanics and alignment of hatha yoga with the background with the philosophy of Tantra, embodiment practices inspired by Cohen, movement explorations informed by somatic psychology, and numerous other modalities that inform both of our living experiences.

Welcome to this laboratory of experience.

Tara Judelle founder and lead teacher

Tara has been facilitating yoga experiences since 2001.  From her base in Los Angeles, she relocated to Bali in 2010- from which she began touring and facilitating workshops, immersions, trainings, and retreats internationally.  Motivated by her strong desire to find technologies that enable her students to realize their full and joyous multi-dimensional selves.  The response to the conversation to become liberated and embodied is the School of Embodied Flow. Inspired to innovate the method and means of the yogic conversation, weaving tantric philosophy, skillful movement, and playful humor into her facilitation.  She curates Embodied Flow yoga happenings to incite students towards expanded consciousness and an awakened experience of themselves. Her dynamic style brings ease and authenticity into a new yoga culture.

Language as an early passion, an English degree from Barnard College, post-graduate studies in theater directing, and a brief career in film writing and directing all drove Tara to look deeper into the metaphysical pursuits of yoga and meditation.  More than thirty years of experimentation with forms of flow including dance, Tai Chi, movement improvisation, music, theater, and, ultimately, yoga, led Tara to develop methods of communicating the intangible into the immediate and creating safe containers for group exploration.  Originally certified in the hatha Anusara® method, since 2006 Tara has studied extensively with meditation and Tantric philosophy scholars Sally Kempton and Carlos Pomeda.  The cannon of work by Body-Mind Centering® and Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen opened new facets of the tantric methodology, inspiring a shift in the intention of Tara’s teaching towards the embodiment-based approach of Embodied Flow.

Starting in 2009 she has helped shape the yoga conversation streaming around the world as a featured teacher on yogaglo.com. In 2010 Tara moved from her base in Los Angeles to direct a retreat center in Bali, Indonesia and since 2012 she has moved throughout the globe with no fixed base, as she facilitates workshops, retreats, and teacher trainings worldwide.
