Supporting

people
The Quest Yoga was born from my own personal healing journey from Trauma.
Along the way, I discovered powerful tools, practices and insights that supported my recovery and growth.
Now, years later it has become my Mission to share these tools with others.
Through thoughtfully designed events and retreats, The Quest Yoga offers safe, supportive spaces where individuals can explore their own healing paths.

I'm Tara Thompson

My mission is to have Trauma Informed Yoga at the forefront of every Wellness Programme, every Festival, every-time Wellness is mentioned Trauma Informed Yoga needs to be included.

“Turas Le Cheile is a voluntary bereavement support service, particularly for those bereaved through suicide. From our first call with Tara, it was clear she understood our work. She created a safe, supportive retreat where our volunteers experienced gentle movement, creative expression, nourishment, and reflection. The day far exceeded expectations, and the feedback was excellent. We would highly recommend Tara and The Quest Yoga to any company, agency, or community NGO.”
