“Taryn is a passionate young woman all about fashion, health, wellness and an advocate for an active lifestyle. She holds a diploma in fashion design and technology. Her commitment to health extends beyond the gym, where she engages in weekly workouts. Having discovered Pilates three years ago as a means of healing from a lower back injury, she’s since embraced it both physically and mentally. Inspired by her transformative journey, she decided to pursue a career as a Pilates instructor last year, driven by a desire to guide others in enjoying their bodies and finding healing from within. Outside of her pursuits, she cherishes time spent outdoors and with loved ones. She has desires of travelling the world and spreading positivity through Pilates.” View details »
