Tia Platte, Founder

Tia Platte, eRYT-500/YACEP, is a movement facilitator, yoga educator and trained dancer. Her studies of yogasana and  philosophy, somatic techniques and embodied psychology extends over 20+ years. A graduate of VCU Dance and Choreography, she continues to weave her creativity and deeply integrated understanding of the body/mind continuum into all of her movement pursuits. 

Passionate about teaching mindful movement with clarity, precision and skill, her intelligent approach fosters self-inquiry, curiosity, and a sense of playfulness. She strives to be a life-long student of the ancient teachings of yoga philosophy and continues to share her knowledge and enthusiasm with all those who seek to know the true essence of the Self. Bring your mat, or leave your mat behind, but always remember to bring an open mind and a willingness to expand, connect, and deepen into yourself.

Tia owned and operated Yoga Source in Richmond, VA for fifteen years where she served as a creative director, senior teacher, teacher trainer and mentor. In 2023, she founded Taj Wellness, which is a synthesis of her life journey: movement labs, yoga offerings (private and groups), and community events centered around real-life connection and joy.​
