“Taylor masterfully inspires me to tap into my softness. I leave her offerings feeling fully settled into my body, mind, and energy.”
— Alexis, Little Spaces Wellness
“I was lucky to collaborate with Taylor several times through my business, Unrecognizable Fit. She led calming yoga sessions in the park during the summer, and everyone who joined left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. If you're in need of a yoga instructor or a partner for an event, Taylor is the one to reach out to.”
— Jada, Unrecognizeable Fit
“On two separate occasions, we have partnered with Taylor to host meditative sessions for our team. In the first instance, she led a 60-minute meditation session for our colleagues that preceded a day-long retreat. After Taylor's facilitation, team members noted feeling less anxious, more calm, and more ready to engage in our day's agenda. Secondly, Taylor led a meditative moment during a collective processing space as our team gathered in community to process world events around us. I would highly recommend Taylor's services. She is attentive, intentional, and over-delivers based on your team's needs.”
— Alyscia, Altara Heights
“Working with Taylor Elane and engaging with House of Duafe was a special experience for our team. As a group of six at a nonprofit, we came in with our own dynamics and pressures, and Taylor met us where we were. Her facilitation and prompts were tailored to our team and the work we actually do. What stood out most was her discernment. She read the room with care and adjusted in the moment when a conversation needed to go somewhere unplanned. She also built a space where every participant could learn and contribute, regardless of identity or background. I recommend her services without hesitation.”
— Taylor, Unitarian Universalist Association
“Taylor Elane is an incredible Yoga Instructor and Meditation Practitioner. It is always a delight to have Taylor guide our Full Moon Celebrations. Taylor encourages safety and body awareness which goes a long way as many of our participants vary from beginner to advanced. Participants have expressed feeling lighter mentally and physically after their session. Taylor’s gentle and caring spirit is carried throughout her practices, leaving everyone inspired and enlightened. ”
— Melissa, Babes Only Non-Profit
“Taylor graduated from our yoga school in 2021 and has since excelled as a Non-performative Yoga® Teacher! Her teaching style is deeply restorative for beginner yogis and movers, providing an approachable application to the practice of yoga. As a result, we've hired Taylor to teach at national events on behalf of our brand, in addition to facilitating within our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training. We look forward to working with Taylor in the future and highly recommend her for Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra!”
— Abiola, iya Well Yoga School
“Taylor’s retreat session was so transformative. It really grounded my ability and openness to rest for our winter break. I did not think I would fall asleep, but I did. She's a delight to work with, and I would highly recommend her for restorative yoga and wellness practices."
"This is our second time working with Taylor, and it will not be the last. From staff to participants, she has held our constituents with respect, care, and intention while giving them more tools to support their well-being as caregivers. Many of us understand the importance of rest and restoration, but we struggle to implement it. Taylor's work expands access to restorative practices and helps us truly feel the benefits of yoga nidra in our mind, body, and spirit. We are made freer by having her in our community, and when you work with her, you will be too.”
"I left Taylor's retreat session feeling more prepared and excited to honor the self-care that my healing journey requires. She created a space for me to relax my mind, release my anxiety, and restore a sense of peace, calm, and equilibrium. I'm grateful for this experience."
