Taylor Esaki (she/her)

As many others do, I first stepped onto a yoga mat in 2007 and fell in love with the practice nearly immediately. Growing up as a ballerina, it was the movement practice that initially spoke to me, but it was the opportunity to step out of the chaos of the day and be in a safe space to sort out the chaos of my mind that kept me coming back.

After over a dozen years as solely a student of yoga, I decided it was my turn to contribute in a different way to the community that has held that space for me time after time. I completed my RYT-200 hour certification with Erica Bornstein, Catie Macken, and Jess Ray with Essence of Yoga School, and completed my RYT-300 hour certification with Emily Jonas and Tim Kelleher at Boston Yoga Union.

My teaching style is vinyasa flow, focused on mobility and creative movement, drawing from my background in dance. I like to encourage students to take the practice beyond what it looks like on the outside and, instead, focus on checking in on what’s going on inside their minds and feeling good in their bodies. My goal is to create a fun, engaging class so you just might get lost in the flow and leave class feeling stronger — mentally and physically.

I’m passionate about teaching beginners and folks newer to the practice, or those who are just curious about the details, and looking for a slower-paced and more in-depth practice.
