TAYLOR

“As a child I developed scoliosis, a condition causing curves in the spine and rotation through the hips, ribcage, and shoulders. My condition was serious enough that it needed to be addressed through surgery at the age of 12. This surgery fused the majority of the vertebrae in my spine together, permanently and severely restricting my range of motion. As much as I thought I understood that it didn’t really matter, I came to resent the fact that regardless of how many sun salutations I do, I will never have the most beautiful upward facing dog in the room. Despite the consistency and diligence of my practice, I’ll never be able to “master” shapes that require moderate spinal movement.”
