@laurenashtangayoga | think it's
overly vague, doesn't identify Taylor

Peer Support as a Living System: Tending the Roots of Practice
In the ecosystem of Ashtanga Yoga, peer support isn’t a side dish. It’s the mycelium under the forest floor — the network of connection, communication, and shared resilience that keeps the whole thing alive. When done with intention, peer support can shift the dynamics of…
Read the essay →The Evolution of an Ashtanga Teacher
The Evolution of an Ashtanga Teacher Introduction Change and iteration? I'm good with those. I started out verbose—talking too much, explaining every little thing. Then I swung the pendulum toward the stereotypical Ashtanga script: minimal instruction, no props, traditional cues only. But ultimately, I came…
