Tayler Armstrong, Guest Yoga Instructor
I’m Tayler and I’m so happy you’re here! In addition to a Molecular Biology degree, I have over 17 years experience in the fitness world. Believe me when I say I’ve tried it all - gymnastics, CrossFit, ballet, barre, pilates, powerlifting, and pole vaulting. Yoga and fitness hold a special place in my heart because I experience anxiety, OCD and PTSD. Life has been much more manageable since finding a positive outlet to connect to my inner best-self and outer strength. My focus in teaching/instructing centers around longevity - joint mobility + stability, injury prevention, and tapping into inner strength and power! I use both my education and personal experience to help students accomplish their goals from what I call the “Whole Person Approach”, meaning addressing physical, mental, and emotional health.
