THE PERGOLA METHOD™
Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science to Guide Your Well-Being
What is The Pergola Method™?
The Pergola Method™ is Dr. Tanya’s signature framework that weaves Maasai and Ayurvedic wisdom with the latest in neuroscience and social psychology. It recognizes that true health emerges from understanding how mind, body, spirit, society, and environment interact—and then tailoring practices to your unique needs.
Just as a pergola provides structure for plants to climb, this method gives you the support and guidance you need during times of growth and transformation.
Why ‘Pergola’?
The surname “Pergola” evokes a garden structure that nurtures growth, mirroring how our programs support you as you flourish.
Elements of Well-Being
Each element can be taken individually, combined in a package, or integrated into a retreat or workplace program—so you get exactly the guidance you need, when you need it.
Well-being Coaching
Do you have a strong desire to make positive changes in your life but don’t know where to begin? Or maybe you are experiencing chronic stress, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to find balance between the different aspects of your life? Working one-on-one with Dr. Tanya provides guidance, support, and accountability to help you create strategies for achieving a healthier and more balanced life. Dr. Tanya specializes in working with university students and people in their “third act of life.” Private coaching sessions are available online or in person. The length of the program and the frequency of sessions are determined at the time the coaching agreement is made.
Initiations - Personal Vision Quest
**Recommended add-on with Well-being Coaching
Are you in need of a complete upgrade to your operating system? Do you feel that you could be enjoying your life much more than you currently are? Dr. Tanya guides you on a powerful personal journey, a modernized version of an initiation process or vision quest. Traditionally engaged in by indigenous peoples in many cultures, these vitally essential rites of passage have vanished mainly from contemporary life. This bespoke program is an intensive, long-term engagement that includes specific modules customized with prescriptions for potent rituals, ceremonies, rites of passage, storytelling, meditations, and guidance on daily activities.

Yoga Therapy Class
Are you feeling ready to move more with greater ease? Do you experience chronic pain? Or maybe you just love a yoga class that makes you feel blissful?
Yoga therapy utilizes the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being. It is particularly beneficial for many conditions that persist despite conventional medical treatment, including back pain, headaches, digestive problems, and poor sleep. Dr. Tanya teaches both private and regular group sessions that incorporate specific postures, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques to meet your needs and health concerns. Yoga therapy is especially valuable for people living with heart disease, cancer, and other debilitating diseases.

Meditation Mentoring
Do you feel stressed? Scattered? Exhausted? Even depressed?
Meditation is a powerful tool that can help you cultivate mindfulness, reduce stress and anxiety, increase focus and concentration, and improve your overall well-being.
Learning to meditate properly is important. Starting off on the right foot can ensure that you commit to a regular practice that you will have for life.
Dr. Tanya is an experienced meditator for over 15 years and is certified by Dr. Deepak Chopra to teach Primordial Sound Meditation (PSM) and to be a mentor for those interested in developing a regular meditation practice. She helps you easily incorporate the practice of meditation into your life, in a way that works for your schedule and circumstances.
