Patricia Hastie and Claire Wineland

Patricia Hastie, our new BFF, plays George Clooney’s wife in the Academy Award winning movie The Descendants.  To prepare for her role, she actually researched video and photo footage of people that had actually been in a coma and WOW, she did such a great job!  When researching for this role, she was introduced to Claire’s story and was moved by her experience.

Recently, we had the great opportunity of meeting her and making this beautiful video.  You can really see her heart shining through as she makes a plea for support!

Thank you Patricia for your generous and loving spirit ~

Why is Tadasana?

Yoga supports your ability to be awesome.

Music makes the impossible possible.

Community makes everything worthwhile.

Tadasana is a transformational festival uniting yoga,  music and community. It is a celebration of the possible. The weekend will bring together like-minded practitioners and seekers through the practice of yoga. On a communal level, the connections that will be forged will last a lifetime.  Tadasana exists to connect us with our highest potential.
