About Tako
I offer private, one-on-one lessons over Zoom, because I give focused attention and get to know my students.
My teaching style is playful, attentive, exploratory, and collaborative. I encourage reflection, introspection, and critical thinking, as I believe you are ultimately your truest teacher. My goal is to be but a temporary guide on your journey.
I am a registered 500 hour yoga teacher.
If you are looking for group in person classes, find me on the schedule for Left Coast Power Yoga in Oakland and register for classes there. I am not currently offering group classes remotely.
Getting to witness the positive effects of yoga on people's lives is one of the things that makes me happy. Working privately with students one-on-one is a great way for me to dive deep with them into their practice.
I have been practicing yoga since 2006. I had taught other subjects both one-on-one and in the classroom before, but had never thought of teaching yoga. After about 10 years of practice, however, one of my most respected teachers, Alek Trail, offered me an apprenticeship so I could start teaching at her studio, Barefoot Movement, and I couldn't turn down the opportunity to be mentored by her.
I'm a big fan of one-on-one learning, which is why I myself received my initial teacher training as an apprentice with Alek Trail. That said, I have also undergone formal training as well and am a 500 RYT (registered yoga teacher) with Yoga Alliance.

Take me up on a free, zero-pressure consultation call :-) We'll discuss your goals as well as how we'd work together (how often we'll meet, your learning style, etc.)
If we decide to work together: keep in mind you'll likely feel better after your very first session, but you're also not likely to achieve all your results all at once. Yoga is a PRACTICE.
I have worked with absolute beginners, and I have also taught advanced skills to other teachers. I've noticed a synergy with students who are 1) looking at yoga not just for exercise but also as a way to improve their state of mind and quality of life 2) endlessly curious and love learning.
Find a teacher with whom you connect and can trust. It is important to feel safe and at ease when you practice.
Make sure the teacher seems to grasp your stated goals.
That said, give the process some time -- yoga is a PRACTICE and can take time to yield results.
Right before COVID, I was traveling in Luanda, Angola, and happened to be living in community with a yoga studio, Maison BH Yoga, that was just starting up. I had the opportunity to teach yoga to local Angolans and expatriate Brazilians while there in my very limited Portuguese. It was a such a fun challenge that made me grow as a teacher.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
How do I learn best? By doing? By watching? Getting verbal or written instructions?
What are some immediate goals and what are my long term goals?
What's my learning style? Do I prefer lots of explanation/praise/critique/mental space?
Why do I want to practice yoga?

Tako provides a calming and relaxing environment. He is very aware of the inner workings of the body and teaches you how to engage muscles in your body. Tako puts safety first in his yoga instruction. I always leave his class more educated about my body and the overall practice of yoga...the 8 limbs.
Taco is a wonderful yoga instructor. I love all of his classes. I have so much to learn from him and really look forward to taking more yoga classes with him. He has a lot of teaching experience, always great ideas for modifications and challenges to share with us. His singing is adorable. He has a very beautiful and relaxing voice. I also think that his savasanas at the end of each class are the best... ;-)
The private session I had with Tako was amazing. He took into account my needs and yoga experience and made the class perfect for me. Even though this was a Zoom session, I felt as if Tako was there with me because his cues are so precise. Tako is very knowledgeable, attentive and I enjoyed my session very much. I highly recommend!
Classes were fun, supportive, and tailored to student interests.

Details
Cost is $120 pre-paid per 60 minute Zoom-based lesson, but with discounts if you pre-pay for several classes ahead of time. I recommend commiting to several classes at least anyway - it takes a little time to build momentum in your practice.
