Hi! I'm Taylor!
I am a lover, light worker, alchemist, adventurer, mover and shaker.
My greatest passion and calling is to work with yoga teachers through my 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings, Continuing Education Trainings, Yoga Teacher Coaching Programs and Retreats. Teaching yoga and pursuing this path was VERY hard for me in the beginning, my fear of public speaking and being seen paralyzed me to the point of quitting...until I jumped head first into my fears and haven't look back since!
Which is why I LOVE to work with yoga teachers and help them find their voice, step confidently into their teaching role and build a sustainable and successful career as a yoga teacher!
Yoga has been a transformational part of my life’s journey for 18 years. I’m grateful to have found yoga at 15 years old during a challenging time battling an addiction and was living an overall unhealthy life. Yoga, mindfulness and meditation was a HUGE part of my recovery, which led me to immersing myself even deeper with my first yoga teacher training at 19 years old! I continued my dedicated yoga practice as a student and teacher and am so fortunate to have studied with some of the most impactful yoga teachers around the world; like Shiva Rea, Briohny Smyth, Dice Ida-Klein, Honza and Claudine Lafond, Seane Corn, Hala Khouri, Suzanne Sterling and was deeply inspired by my very first yoga teachers Alex Austin, Jenn Chiarelli, and John Salisbury at At One Yoga.
I teach many styles of yoga - Vinyasa Flow, Gentle Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Guided Meditation and Trauma-Informed Yoga. I also incorporate a variety of other healing modalities into my offerings like Breathwork Journey's, Ecstatic Dance and Sound Healing. All of my classes and offerings are taught with a trauma-informed lens, which simply put means I guide my students to listen intuitively to their bodies, their needs and to explore what feels best for them while doing my best to create a safe space for everyone. It’s important to me to create an inclusive yoga community where everyBODY feels seen, safe and welcome in my classes, trainings, retreats events and workshops.
LIVING YOGA
I believe that in living our own yoga, on and off the mat, we can truly come alive, shine brightly, love fully, be present and embrace every aspect of our lives!
"Taylor is providing real support for all yoga teachers. She has so much wisdom to share from her own personal experience and is not afraid to be raw, humble and open! She is so inspiring and will encourage you to move through your fear on your journey to sharing the gift of yoga with the world!"
