About Tanya

Tanya Penny suffered from anxiety/depression and insomnia most of her life, and then in 2004 was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She began her journey of healing, trying many western and eastern treatment modalities. After years of seeking she came upon iRest and Viniyoga. Tanya experienced such life changing benefits from using these practices that she knew she had to share them with others and began training in 2008. She started the iRest Program at Elks Rehabilitation Hospital in Boise, ID and in 2010 opened Yoga for Healing, PLLC.

Tanya combines her Occupational Therapy background, iRest/yoga training, and her personal experiences to help others heal, grow, and transform. Tanya is passionate about teaching others how to use these practices so that they too can be empowered in their own healing process. She believes mind/body healing is the answer and has studied the teachings of Carolyn Myss, PhD and Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz, among many others, in the field of Mind/Body Medicine. Her goal is to guide you in finding and healing the underlying cause(s) of your physical/emotional symtpoms so you can regain optimum health and live your life’s purpose.

Born and raised in Wisconsin, Tanya currently lives in Boise, Idaho. She loves camping, hiking, and traveling to the ocean whenever the opportunity arises-she is a pisces!
