Her training is Baptise, but she pulls from other forms of yoga and is influenced by her teachers on and off the matt. Her classes will purify the mind, be physically challenging, refreshing, and fun-loving. They are appropriate for beginners and for yogis of all levels. Her students are taught to modify poses to meet their own needs. Her students are encouraged to listen to their bodies and follow intuition.

Tayla David

Tayla began practicing yoga in 2013 and in May 2019 she followed one of her large dreams by completing her 200 hour RYT training through Boston Yoga School. As an athlete throughout her youth, she first looked to yoga as a physical practice but over the years discovered the benefits extended to her total wellness. What kept her coming back was the connection of the mind, body, breath and spirit that makes yoga not just a workout, but a practice of mindfulness and self-awareness.

Tayla loves practicing yoga because she knows it is something that is impossible to perfect. There are no expectations to become a master and she finds comfort in that. It is a true honor to be a conduit for a practice that she loves.

While not on her yoga mat, you can find Tayla and her adventurous spirit enjoying her time at the beach, hiking or anywhere outdoors with family and friends! 

Molly Sullivan Teal

Hi, I'm Molly Sullivan Teal, RYT 200.  I'm a fitness instructor and registered yoga teacher.  My fitness journey began as a kid, always being involved in youth sports and anything outdoors. With this, I also faced severe chronic injuries through my young adulthood and had to find a way to fall in love with exercise again. I began taking barre classes, utilizing every modification I could to make it through until I slowly built back strength I lost. I was hooked and completed my certifications in Metafit (HIIT/strength), barre, cardio kickboxing and my 200 hour yoga certification. Teaching is my passion and I love meeting new people. With each class I teach, modifications are offered so every BODY is welcome regardless of where you are on your fitness journey. See you at the beach!
