After practicing another form of yoga, Taya was introduced to the Ashtanga tradition in the Mysore method by Matthew and instantly felt she had returned home. She is grateful to him for upholding, preserving and teaching the tradition in a way which has fostered her love of Ashtanga. Through daily practice, attendance of 3 workshops with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in the U.S. and a Tim Miller workshop, Taya was inspired to attend Tim Miller¡¦s teacher training. Upon returning from Encintias, Matthew invited Taya to be his apprentice. She has assisted him and is enthusiastic to open her wings and offer her own mysore classes. As a wife and mother of three children, Taya is also grateful to her family for their support of her passion. Their encouragement is enabling her journey to Mysore, India, in January of 2008, where she will drink from the well directly. Taya is deeply respectful and appreciative for all that preserve this tradition and seeks to teach her students with the same integrity and patience that was taught to her.
