"Tahya's class at the Cancer Support Community has increased my flexibility and..... also makes me feel very feminine, which post cancer is neither easy nor common. I haven't felt so feminine in a long time." - Sandy B.
What people are saying...
Wherever Tahya is, is an oasis from the world.
- Dr. Kent Mehmet Ozman,
StarKent Chiropractic & Kinesiology
"...imagine a woman in a shimmering copper gown edged in brilliant gold, her red hair blazing, her eyes on fire,...and she says all sultry into the microphone, “I hear a drum in my soul’s ear coming from the depth of the stars…” "
- Matthew Crain
the Easton Irregular
Thanks so much for the beautiful show... You were enchanting, engaging & looked radiant. Your inner light shines so very brightly.
- Helaine Young
Tahya's classes are so much fun; everyone should try her classes!
- Polly, New York, NY

- Anne Lacey, Massage Therapist
Watching Tahya's fingers dance is like watching art in motion
- Karen Faye,

Tahya is transforming me from a guy who felt I danced with two left feet to someone who truly enjoys moving to the beat!
- Dennis K., Lehigh Valley, PA
You are doing a fantastic thing for our community ~ presenting programming with a diversity of women whom you have taught. They are dressed beautifully and dancing so well with such confidence. You give us the opportunity to see beauty unfold in the lives of women. This transcends art and is an important part of the spiritual revolution that is happening now.
- Matt Wolf, Bethlehem, PA
