“Perri teaches mindful yogic practice as core and complement to all forms of movement. Her focus on “presence of mind” in all physical action has been a revelation to our students. Other benefits of her class include increased strength, stamina, and improved alignment. Perri’s Mind Body Dancer™ program has become an invaluable component of our curriculum. TaraMarie is an outstanding educator, mentor, and practitioner of yoga.” |

| “In the ten months that I have been practicing Mind Body Dancer™, I have noticed a phenomenal transformation in both my yoga and my dance practices. From connecting breath to the movement, to injury prevention and management, this practice has taught me so much about how to use my body and unlock strengths of which I was previously unaware. I am extremely thankful for the individual care and support that TaraMarie gives to everyone. I look forward to seeing this technique become a part of every dancer’s practice”. Matthew Slattery, Joffrey Ballet School Trainee |

| “When I came to TaraMarie's class I was one of those dancer's who took technique classes and thought that was all I needed. Now looking back I can't believe I ever could think that. I am rather hypermobile. TaraMarie taught me how to stand on my legs and control my movement; it has been the biggest challenge. I have had so many breakthroughs about my technique in her classes. She has also helped me through numerous injuries, mentally and physically. Sometimes during a performance season things can get kind of crazy. During those times TaraMarie's classes really helped to center and focus me. Training with TaraMarie in her Mind Body Dancer™ yoga classes for the past three years has had a major positive impact on both my dancing and me as a person.” Elisabeth Jeffrey, Joffrey Ballet School Trainee |
