Summary

Warm and bendy with an infectious charm, Taylor Harkness is a young millenial with a wise and heartful approach to yoga. We discuss how yoga helped him find balance after the intensity and trauma of being paramedic, how he built his social media following to 35K followers (and how he's since changed his approach), what he thinks his generation will contribute to the future of yoga, and more.
