Taylor Carito
Yoga
Children's Yoga
Taylor is an avid skier with a passion for anything outdoors. Like most yogis, Taylor was initially drawn to yoga for the physical benefits. She started practicing forrest yoga in 2012 at ‘Girdwood Yoga Shack’ in Girdwood, AK. Soon after beginning her yoga journey she became fascinated by the practice and how it affected her mind and body. Attending yoga class was therapeutic.
Taylor continued to dive deeper into the study of yoga, attending classes religiously. She was driven to learn more about the ancient teachings and offerings of different yoga ancestries and mythologies. All of this lead Taylor to her first 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Scranton, PA.
Taylor is forever a student, always amazed by what we can learn and how to better ourselves.
