Tamika Caston-Miller
Tamika is a post-lineage yoga futurist & educator (E-RYT500 and YACEP) living the life of urban farmer and conscious community builder in Houston, Texas. She curates nature-immersive yoga experiences in service to collective healing and community repair through the lens of rest, resilience, and integration.
Focused on moving those from traditionally marginalized communities beyond marginalized realities through truth-speaking, collaborative work, and collective rest, Tamika aims to build intersectional, intergenerational, multiethnic communities in which radical compassion, agency, and self acceptance are normalized. Her modern application of ancient principles is inspired by her understanding of yoga as a practice of right relationship with others, the planet, and Self, and is informed by those she counts as her most influential teachers and mentors, Dr. Gail Parker, Tracee Stanley, Paul Grilley, Indu Arora, Jivana Heyman, and Judith Hansen Lasater.
Tamika refers to herself as a "post-lineage" teacher as yoga has historically been exclusive based on caste, ethnicity, body size, and/or socio-economic status, thus no singular lineage fully encapsulates a truly inclusive approach to yoga across intersectional identities. Tamika is an international teacher trainer specializing in Trauma-Informed Somatic Flow, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Nidra.
