Tamara Vodovoz

Tamara, originally from Colombia, pursued her passion for the well-being of living beings through Veterinary Medicine. Her academic journey took her to the University of California, Davis, where she earned a master's and Ph.D. in epidemiology and Comparative Pathology.

Simultaneously, Tamara has been a dedicated yoga student since her teenage years and a teacher for the past 14 years, advocating for the profound benefits of yoga for individuals from all walks of life. As a yoga instructor, she blends scientific understanding with holistic approaches, incorporating myofascial self-release, nervous system regulation, and self-massage techniques.

Tamara is also very enthusiastic about Thai massage, a form of bodywork that incorporates assisted stretching and has a spiritual foundation based on the Buddhist concept of Metta (loving kindness). This practice heals our sense of separation and supports our co-regulation of emotions. She has been offering traditional Thai Massage and table Thai massage at Dynamics Davis since 2018. She also offers workshops where she guides people to experience this form of healing touch with each other. 

Her journey reflects a blend of scientific inquiry, spiritual exploration, and a commitment to fostering interconnectedness. Through her work and teachings, Tamara inspires others to deepen their connection with themselves, others and our natural world.
