In this episode of the Beats & Balance Podcast, host Tinora Locke-Terrefe is joined by Tara Thompson, a trauma-informed yoga teacher and the founder of The Quest Yoga in Ireland.

Tara shares her personal journey through trauma and how it inspired her to create safe, empowering spaces for others. She reflects on the staggering reality that 1 in 4 people in Ireland have been victims of abuse, and 1 in 3 women, underscoring the urgent need for trauma-informed care and healing-centered practices in wellness.

With honesty and compassion, Tara talks about the challenges of balancing personal healing while supporting others, the importance of safety and choice in trauma-informed yoga, and her vision of making these practices mainstream in Ireland.

🌿 Tara is also hosting her Rest and Restore Retreat in May 2026, set in a historic hunting lodge in the Wicklow Hills, just an hour from Dublin—a weekend of rest, restoration, and pressing pause in breathtaking scenery. Learn more at www.thequestyoga.com.
