about Tatiana
My name is Tatiana Ehulani Looney. I am a dancer, yoga teacher, hiker, self proclaimed chef, and entrepreneur from Honolulu, HI. Yes, born and raised Island Girl! I have either loved or always needed to move. You could find me climbing or twirling. So, naturally at the age of 3, I was sucked unto pink tights, a black leotard and the ballet barre became my happy place. I have trained professionally for many years in ballet, jazz, hip hop, hula, Tahitian you name it I was moving. Movement has always been my way of expression, of navigating, at a very young age, through my emotions. At the age of 17, three days after I graduated High School, I moved to NYC. I continued dancing, acting and modeling with Wilhelmina Models, Clear Talent Agency, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and Steps on Broadway. And that's where I began to find Yoga....I needed calm, cool, soft, moments amid the chaos.
In 2012, I moved to California. Sandy beaches, palm trees, lots of yoga, lots of dance, and lots to learn. I found myself on my mat; it was quiet, it was still, and my passion for movement became louder. I began walking down the path of a yoga teacher and found myself continuing to accept teaching opportunities. Since then, I have completed a handful of trainings, including Banyan Gallagher 200Hr YTT Program, Advanced Philosophy Study with Tom Hess, Ashtanga Immersion with Manju P. Jois, and numerous workshops and continued education courses throughout the U.S. I have led Yoga Teacher Trainings, Co- Founded a Yoga studio, and the passion to be a student first always prevails.
You can find me teaching in Chico, CA where I live with my talented husband, Chase, and our gentle giant, Lucy Loo.
Aloha and I can't wait to move with you.
