“As a person with a long and willowy build, a lot of flexibility but little strength and lifelong posture issues, these classes have been life changing for me. I feel stronger and more connected within my body, and much more aware of how to use my core strength to help correct my posture. Taryn is an extremely knowledgeable and patient teacher. She focuses on the individual's needs rather than a "one size fits all" approach using the classical format of Pilates. She is tough yet motivating, but also sympathetic to my personal journey through Pilates. I couldn't recommend Taryn's classes more highly.”
