Hello, my peeps! How are you on this dreary Friday? I was not in the best mood when my alarm went off this morning and I saw there was no sunshine outside. If you know me, you know I'm a sunshine kind of gal. Rain is nice for 1-2 days and, most importantly, I don't have to go out into it. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay snuggled in bed with the hubby but the good news is at least I was going to do something fun...YOGA! I was interested to see who would brave the rain to make it to yoga. Answer: all the regular peeps. My morning class at Elevate was a class of 4 regular Tayoga peeps and I decided to use a very old playlist that I had never used in class before. It is different than all other Tayoga playlists because none of the songs contain words. It was a last minute decision to use this playlist instead of the new playlist I made last night because having no words means it is a little more low key usual. I figured it went well with the lack of sunshine. Since it was a diff

My first Mommy and Me Yoga class at the Dragonfly-Art for Life was April 16, 2021. Since that date, I have had one mother/daughter pair show up one time. It can be a little disheartening when people don't show up... especially to a free class! I stuck with it, though - Edison and I show up every week (unless we are on vacation of course). I am pleased to report that this last Friday  -3 months after my first class - I had a few more people than normal. 11 more to be exact! It was a bit chaotic, but that's what happens when kids get involved. Oh, what a blast it was! I realize it probably won't be like that every week, but it gave my confidence a little boost and I cannot wait for the next one.   See you there with your kiddo?  Nasmas(tay)   Mommy (or Daddy) and Me Yoga Fridays 11:30am-12pm Dragonfly-Art for Life @ 1210 J Street Can you spot Edison? He is on the move!

In case you haven't heard, I have restarted my Friday lunchtime yoga - but with a new twist. It is now "Mommy (or Daddy) and Me Yoga," so bring your little one(s) with you! I will have Edison with me and we can have a grand ol' time. Yoga is great for all ages, so start them young. The class is still located at the Dragonfly-Art for Life at 1210 J Street in downtown Modesto. Class is now 11:30am-12pm and kiddos of all ages are welcome. If you would like to sign up, check out Tayoga Class Signup to reserve your spot.  Hope to see you there! Namas(tay).

Hi all! This is going to be a quick post because it is a busy Monday! Andrew and I spent the last week at the beach for our anniversary. That means it is back to work today. Wish us luck. In more exciting news, TAYOGA IS BACK AT ELEVATE! My usual 9am Vinyasa class resumes this Friday, June 5th at Elevate Community Yoga. Space is limited to 11 due to distancing requirements, so be sure to sign up online instead of just showing up like usual. It's going to be so fun to be back at the studio... though I did enjoy teaching in the park as well. Additional exciting news, the Dragonfly-Art for Life plans to reopen Friday, June 12th. This is where I usually hold my lunchtime yoga class. I am working with Barbara, the owner, to see what we can work out for restarting lunchtime yoga on Fridays 12:15-12:45pm. I'll keep you posted on this and will continue to use Zoom until further notice. So many exciting things. I can't wait to start SEEING people again! Take care. Be safe. S

Normally an idea comes to me for this blog by the time Monday rolls around. That is not the case this week, so I'm just going to write down a few of my thoughts - since everyone seems to have a lot of time with their thoughts these days. Thought # 1 - I miss people. It isn't bad working from home (especially while pregnant), but I miss being around people the majority of the time. When I'm around people all the time it makes the quiet days seem like a special treat. Thought # 2 - Feeling baby kicks have been keeping me "oh so happy" throughout all this nonsense. Andrew enjoys feeling them, too. Definitely the best part about pregnancy. The little guy is actually kicking as I write this! Thought # 3 - I love downtown Modesto. Andrew and I went to pick up sandwiches from the Brighter Side last week (YES, THEY ARE OPEN AGAIN!) and it was the first time I saw downtown in over a month. Oh, the fun memories! I can't wait until going downtown is a regular activ

Hi all! This is just a quick note to let you all know that my free lunchtime yoga at Dragonfly-Art for Life in downtown Modesto is going on vacation for the rest of the year. With this busy holiday season (and not so ideal weather), I decided to cancel the rest of the lunchtime classes for December. No need to fret, though; Anita, Brittnie, and I will be back in the new year so you can start your New Years' resolution of going to yoga every Friday 😉. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Cheers and Namas(tay), my friends.

That's right Modesto! Free yoga coming your way this April! I hope you can make it! Details below: What: Free yoga classes When: Fridays, 12-12:30PM – Starting Friday, April 12, 2019 Where: The Dragonfly-Art for Life, 1210 J St. Modesto , CA Who: Classes led by Taylor Huff, RYT-200, AKA Tayoga (@tayoga_motown) or Brittnie King, RYT-200 (@the_kings_things) Why: We love yoga. We love Modesto . Why not share the love? Other info: Please bring a yoga mat if you have one. If not, we will have a few extra available on a first-come, first-served basis. Beginners are definitely welcome. "How did this idea come about?" you might ask. I came up with this idea as a way to give back to the community I love so much. Andrew and I love to spend time in downtown Modesto and we want to see it continue to grow. We like to go to art galleries and enjoy the local art. I thought yoga and art would go perfectly together, thus creating the idea to hold yoga classes at an art gall
