Woman Up! Taryn Toomey is More Than Magnificent.

Taryn Toomey is the master- mind, body and spirit – behind the trendy yoga boot camp workout The Class – aptly titled like it’s the original, the first, and the only guided group movement practice you ever need in your life.

Many agree. We agree. So does Kate Hudson, Christy Turlington Burns, Carloyn Murphy, Leandra Medine, Ksenia Avdulova , and now all of LA. Since its highly anticipated west coast landing in March this year, The Class has enjoyed even more fame than it did before. In less than three years since it’s New York opening, The Class has garnered recognition from Vogue, Well+Good, The TODAY Show, The Wall Street Journal and more. Taryn has taught The Class at the TEDx Conference, Wanderlust Festival, Fitness Fashion and Food (FFF) Series and DAYBREAKER.

I asked Taryn to participate in our Woman Up series, because if she isn’t an absolute shero who is?!

1. Taryn, what did you have to unlearn to get to where you are?

Self-sabotage.

2. What’s your hack for getting back on track when things have derailed (post vacay, or after a particularly indulgent time)?

I start a routine that’s very similar to The Layer (our seasonal cleanse program) – take a probiotic , drink a morning tonic (lemon, ginger, turmeric, hot water), drink lots of water throughout the day, eat a diet full of vegetables and double down on meditation !

3. What are you trying to kick? Habit wise.

Sleeplessness, Fear, Self-doubt.

4. Hear Hear. And on the other hand, how are you killing it in life right now?

Community! I feel super strongly about the community around me. I couldn’t feel more full.

5. If you went to a deserted island and could take a truck load of only one type of food / snack / drink, what would it be?

I really want say seaweed but that’s dumb for 2 reasons: 1) I would be on a beach! 2) I sound like some hippy dippy wellness girl. Do you want me to be honest? I’d probably bring mezcal.

6. What’s the thing you do to remember that things are going to be ok?

Meditation and music. But not at the same time!

7. What do you love about LA?

• The ability to hike in the mountains in the morning and put my toes in the sand in the afternoon.
• The produce in California is unbelievable – there is no shortage of healthy options (favorites: Beaming, Moon Juice, Gjusta).
• Nothing beats a great ladies night of belly laughs, delicious sushi and the scenic vista at Nobu.

Thank you Taryn for Womaning Up!
