Testimonials

“I have sat for approximately 1000 hours on a meditation cushion at this point in my journey of spiritual progress. I have worked with many teachers and have conversed with countless friends along the way. No teacher has made such a difference to my spiritual growth as Tanya Mahar. Even though many ideas were not new to me, her delivery of these basic concepts made everything feel new again. Some ideas were new to me, and she continues to open my mind to new opportunities on a regular basis. My meditation practice was re-energized with her help, and I practice daily for at least thirty minutes — and sometimes much longer — as a result of this new connection I’ve cultivated in my own spiritual journey. Tanya is a collaborative teacher and cares nothing about being a guru; she knows the value of honesty and authenticity.”

“I have been happily collaborating with Tanya Mahar for over a decade now. Professional, highly skilled and knowledgeable, she delivers with a great sense of certainty in her presentation that puts everyone at ease and poised to follow her instruction. We have enjoyed only positive feedback from our clients whether Tanya is onsite or leading a zoom class. Thank you for your service Tanya. It is always a pleasure working with you.”

-Madeleine Marentette, founder of Grail Springs Retreat Centre for Wellbeing

“I have been following Tanya’s live guided meditations for more than a year. I found her very experienced and knowledgeable. She presents a wide range of meditation techniques in a very accessible way to everyone. I’ve been using her practical techniques in my everyday life. Her authentic and open character makes her an inspiring teacher; she has a unique talent to relate to people through sharing her personal experiences. Following each guided meditation, she creates a safe space for meditators to share their experiences and ask their questions. Thank you Tanya for sharing your love, wisdom, and knowledge with the world!”

-Akram Mahani, Health System Researcher

“I was fated to meet Tanya and feel very grateful for receiving her teachings. These have deepened my practice and enriched my journey. She exudes compassion and is a true vessel of wisdom. Lately she has been emphasizing "landing" into Being, which is precisely what my journey calls for. Her functional role aside, I see in her a wonderful human being, very much committed to her mission, and endowed with a wonderful sense of humor. Hers is a genuine labor of Love.”

“Tanya is so open and warm, you feel you can ask her anything. She guides you through different techniques that allow you to find your own way and help you in the process of truly knowing yourself. I admire Tanya’s capacity to give from herself and her experience in such a loving way and she is always happy to do so. I have been practicing meditation with her for only a few months, but I can already see the positive changes in my life and in my relationship with myself. Love her!”

“Tanya is an amazing meditation teacher. Meditation can be hard, challenging and frustrating. She makes it accessible and explains how it can be used in our daily lives. Tanya is currently doing a meditation series with a group of self-advocates that I work with through North Hastings Community Integration Association. She always responds so thoughtfully to the needs of our individuals with the meditations and coaching that she offers.”

“I deeply appreciate Tanya’s clear, authentic, and compassionate approach to guiding students of meditation.”

- Henry Melissa Gordon, Shamanic Coach and Artist

“I have known Tanya Mahar for a little over 10 years now and have such respect and admiration for this amazing person. Tanya has led me to explore deeper aspects of meditation and as well a new road into breathing and connection again. Her valiant attempts at non-egoic communication and her fluid approach is both giving and solidly reaffirming with good structure. She is right for someone just starting out on a journey as well as those seasoned in this type of approach - her experience has led her to more personal knowledge and humility. It is my belief that Tanya lives her walk in all aspects of her life. She appears to be motivated not by hubristic or financial gain but rather the desire to share, coordinate and offer service.  I am grateful to have had Tanya as a fellow traveler in my journey. Thanks Tanya for being one of the most genuine humans I have  experienced…gratitude.” 

- Pip Strachan, Physiotherapist and Yoga instructor, Tatamagouche, NS

“I have had the "blessing" to meditate with Tanya since September 2020. Tanya's guided meditations are amazing and inspiring as they provide a "space" for self inquiry. She "guides" with an open heart centered around love. This leads to a flow of light and love energy for the benefit of the collective. She is always willing to share, ask questions, and listen with no judgement, and love. I look forward to continuing the meditation journey with Tanya.”

- Ricardo Fradera

“Tanya Mahar teaches and guides meditation with an authentic and loving heart as well as a foundation of having spent countless hours practicing herself. She draws on a wealth of knowledge about spiritual practice and shares it in a way that is down to earth, accessible and relevant to the experience of living in the world today. Not only that but she makes it fun!”
