Sharon Taporco is a HUGE part of the Modesto Yoga Community - she teaches so many different styles of yoga at many different locations. We’ve been able to hang out a few times and even did our Assisting Program through Elevate together. Through this conversation, I have had the pleasure of getting to know her a little better, and now you can get to know her a little bit better, too! Not only does Sharon teach a lot of yoga, but she is also going to school, so she is one busy lady. It took us a little while to complete this conversation because we have both been busy, but I promise it is worth the wait! Enjoy, my friends. Tayoga: How did you get started with yoga? Sharon: My mother introduced me to yoga when I was in high school. She took me to the class she went to at Gold's Gym (yeah, that long ago), and, as it turns out, Debra Rocha was our yoga teacher.

FUN NEWS EVERYONE! On August 1st, I will be hosting the first leg of a triathlon! It is not your typical triathlon - it sounds far more fun! There's a local group called the Fukari Tribe that enjoys doing different outdoor activities and they have decided to put together a triathlon that features yoga, a 5K, and a swimming portion. A friend of mine, Teresa Wright, is putting it together and she asked if I would host a 75 minute Vinyasa class at the park to be the first leg of the race! Naturally, I said yes. This special Tayoga class will take place at 7:30am at Ashby Park in Modesto on Saturday, August 1st. If you only want to do the yoga portion you are more than welcome to head home after it is over. If you want to continue on with the rest of the race then participants will head out to Lake Turlock for a 5K - you can run it if you want to but if you would rather walk, bike, skateboard, or roller blade then that works too! After the 5K, the final leg is a swim in the lake which

Just a fun picture of me and my co-worker/friend, Kayla, celebrating our COVID pregnancies. Kayla is one of my secret weapons for my playlists. She loves helping me come up with songs. I'll get texts from her on random days and times with song ideas. It always makes me smile. She just moved to Kentucky last week 😭 but she still plans to help me with playlists! Just you wait... Tayoga will be nationwide before you know it! Have a great week! Namas(tay). I realize we aren't social distancing but how cute is this picture? At least our masks are on! 

Decals are the newest Tayoga swag!! I just put in an order, so get ready, because they are coming your way. They look so cool - but I may be a little bit partial. Let me know if you want one so I can set it aside for you.  If you're interested in getting your own items made you can check out my Merch Maker, Nichole Delgadillo, on Instagram @itsthelittlethings209 or like her Facebook page "Its the little things." She is so creative and skilled at what she does. Have a great week and get your water bottles ready!  Namas(tay).
