Tanisha Taylor, native of Savannah, Georgia perceives herself to be a life-long learner. She obtained dual master's degrees: one is called Social Responsibility from St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota and the other in Social Work from Savannah State University. She has always been one to see learning as an opportunity to open up new doors which she believes can provide someone with a fresh prospective in life.
Upon completing her Master of Social Work degree (MSW) she discovered that she was more interested in following a non-traditional track of offering services to clients in the helping field. She was reminded of how much joy she found in physical activities such as speed walking, jogging, and spinning and the benefits of simply moving the body has brought to her life. Yoga movement was introduced to her later on in life. She has been a vegan/vegetarian for over 20 years and is an advocate of living a holistic life which includes physical movement, healthy eating habits and acquiring knowledge.

She was inspired by Carol's passion for yoga and her authentic commitment to carefully helping her students move their bodies with intent. Carol encourages her students' to be nice to their bodies. Tanisha completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Savannah Yoga Center in July 2020.
