Understanding Our Bodies:
Conscious Movement
Taliya is a personal trainer and bodywork specialist. The aim of her work is to give a greater sense of freedom through control over oneself and over reactions to stimuli. Conscious movement, conscious touch, choice in how we interact with any given issue.
Every breath is a choice: the difference between a yawn and a shallow chest inhale is choice. Every step we take is a choice: are we falling into step or choosing where to place our foot; one likely has you with hips/knees/ankles turned in, the latter likely has you with feet/knees/hips slightly turned out. Choose to fall, choose to step or to kick or to sit without using your hands.
We train. We do not ‘workout’. Every movement should be better than the last, cleaner than the last, more fluid than the last. We train to understand the how, the why. We train to choose what we do if we do. We make movement possible, enjoyable. We earn a thicc << with two C s >> sense to our muscles, a sense of being more OF ourselves, more IN our selves.
We are able to make the space between our middle toe and our ring toe be conscious. We are able to sense the back of our necks, the crook of our elbow. We choose to pay attention. We choose to choose.

“Taliya and I had already earned better balance and body posture for me before the news of Thyroid Cancer came in 2020. For statistic enthusiasts then it was more improvement in my one year with Taliya than my twelve years without. The news of my second cancer was softened because I knew my body wasn’t going to suffer as much as before. Taliya has a knowledge of the body that can battle those that have taken many years of medical courses, and this is one of her greatest strengths. I know during our sessions she’s paying very close attention to all my movements and figuring out how slight tweaks can help me perform the exercise better, thus I can use that information to function safer in the future. My body will forever have to deal with difficulties, but with all the lessons that Taliya has taught me and will keep teaching me I feel that my life will stay bright. “

“After years of treatments that made me feel briefly better but did nothing to address the underlying causes of tightness in my shoulders, just a handful of sessions with Taliya improved my pain and tension in ways I’m still benefiting from years later. Taliya will listen to you, listen to what your body is saying, and will create a plan for you backed by a rigorous knowledge of body mechanics and executed with friendliness and compassion. If you have issues with pain, mobility, or just plain old tension, Taliya’s the real deal.”
