Tara Sullivan

A New York native, Tara Sullivan has lived and worked in New Zealand, Central America, Woodstock, NY, Berkeley, CA, and is now thrilled to be in Berlin. Tara began her professional life as a soprano, and after graduating from Sarah Lawrence College with a Music degree she sang sacred and secular music professionally in and around New York City. She completed the rigorous three-year teacher certification program at the American Center for the Alexander Technique (ACAT) in 1998 and was a member of the Music faculty at Long Island University's C.W. Post Campus for seven years, where she taught the Alexander Technique as an integrated part of the Music curriculum. Her over twenty years teaching the Alexander Technique have included an extensive private practice as well as a host of settings including universities, retreats, and community centers.

Tara is an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, having completed the teacher training at Samadhi Yoga in Sydney (now Jivamukti Yoga Sydney) prior to the Jivamukti Yoga teacher training at the Omega Institute with Sharon Gannon, David Life, Yogeswari, and Ruth Lauer Manenti. She has studied natural vision improvement and the Eyebody Method extensively with Peter Grunwald since 2000, and has a hand in most of his English language printed and recorded matter, including editing both editions of his book, Eyebody - the Art of Integrating Eye, Brain and Body (2004, 2008).

Above all, Tara is grateful to have had amazing and generous teachers in her life, without whom she would be lost. They include Ruth Golden, Daniel Singer, Sandra Ferreira, and of course Sharon Gannon and David Life, as well as the work of Paul Watson and the music of Mark Deutsch. She is a solo mother to a young feral boy, who she is raising vegan, anti-speciesist and punk rock.
