Talya (aka Natalie) has worked as an Occupational Therapist for over 25 years working with individuals who have sustained concussions, orthopaedic injuries and PTSD, supporting their recovery journey. Talya is trained in providing goal oriented, functional skills development, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, breathwork and yoga. She has recently completed a second level yoga teacher training in Nepal with a focus on Hatha and meditation. Tayla is happiest when in nature, often striking a pose or breathing deeply by a lake, on a mountain, or in the forest. She is passionate about sharing the amazing benefits of yoga with others. Believing that energy is shared, Tayla feels that yoga positively influences all aspects of life, regardless of experience, skill, or strength level.
