Meet Tina Fitzgerald of CommuniTea Yoga & Meditation

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tina Fitzgerald.

Hi Tina, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
In 2012, after 25 years of success as a businesswoman, everything changed. What began as minor health issues, peri menopause, sinus infections, sleep problems, escalated into a complete physical and emotional breakdown. I became addicted to anti-anxiety medication which deepened my crisis and sent my system into chaos.
By 2013, I was forced me to quit my career. I had gone from being a vibrant, successful woman to feeling like I was 90 years old, unable to perform basic tasks without exhaustion. This dark period became my greatest teacher. I realized I didn’t know how to hold energy (prana) in my body or maintain my energetic field, what is sometimes called the Lightbody.
I was always very spiritual, loved yoga, working out and moving my body. Then I discovered Kundalini Yoga, when I moved to North County San Diego in 2013. It was just what I needed to get me back on track to health and well being.

I am known spiritually as Ardas Taran and I have shifted my life to fully embrace my spiritual mission and meaning of the spiritual name given to me of “guiding others across the river of maya to the shores of enlightenment” through Kundalini Yoga, meditation, breath-work, and Lightbody Ascension teachings. With a unique blend of business insight, spiritual depth, and intuitive leadership, I create uplifting and transformative experiences for every member.

I opened CommuniTea Yoga Studio on August 11, 2017 while my nervous system and hormonal balance was still an issue. Despite my health problems I knew it was the right thing to do and I knew the best way to keep doing this type of yoga for my own healing journey was to teach it. These teachings unite body, mind, and energy, offering a calm and supportive space for clarity, healing, and personal evolution. I offer weekly group classes, trainings, private sessions, one to one readings, and spiritual coaching.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The Covid 19 era was a major hit to us as it was to so many businesses and families of the time. Our business was forced to close and we still had to pay rent. Nobody wanted to come inside a small yoga studio and practice breath work. Everyone was so scared. As you may know there is not allot of money in yoga. After a year or so we were allowed to open and during that time the building in South Oceanside was sold. The new landlord expected double the rent. We knew we would not make it. We considered closing. Instead we took out a very large SBA loan to stay afloat and we moved the operation to Vista, CA.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about CommuniTea Yoga & Meditation?
CommuniTea Yoga & Meditation is a beautiful, sacred space offering yoga, meditation, and energy healing from our peaceful outdoor setting in Vista, California. We host private classes, small group sessions, trainings and member-only gatherings on our spacious outdoor yoga deck. We offer a serene environment created for healing and higher awareness.. We do not openly post our address as everything is done by reservation only. We have several offerings including private and group classes, sound healings, astrological readings, energetic healing and clearing, breathwork and other meditations for Mindfulness, Success, Harmony and Stillness

I specialize in Lightbody Teachings that are an amalgamation of what I have learned and mastered through years of study, I discovered that most yogic and spiritual teachings were incomplete in and of themselves: Traditional Yoga was missing the ascension science, energy healing and clearings.
The I Am Movement and Ascension Teachings were missing the physical yoga, breathwork and movement components.
When I combined yoga, breathwork, sound, meditation, clearings, and activations with mystery school Ascension Teachings, the results were transformational not just for me, but for all my students. Many of the students feel this is not just your typical yoga. They often say these practices and teachings have been absoultely life changing for them.

What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
Never judge a book by it’s cover. And the relationship problems are hardly ever the other person, ususally the problem is you. When you point your finger at another person, there are three fingers pointed back at you. There is always so much more to learn so be open to what comes your way as there are no accidents with who and what is occurring in your life. Sometimes it’s very difficult to hear, but we create our own reality by our thoughts, words and vibration. I have found that everything has meaning. If we just pay attention, we can notice that Source is speaking to us all the time.
We were meant to thrive in this life, not just survive. This time on Earth is a very short journey, it is over in the blink of an eye, and it is a huge gift. Do not waste it on pettiness, fighting, gossiping, ill will or playing small. We are all here for a reason. If you don’t know what that reason is, we are here for you to find out and realize it.
