A short story about Taya Veira
Taya is a dancer and certified fitness instructor with over 18 years of experience in mental health and wellness. From a young age, she was drawn to psychology and sociology, seeking to understand her own emotional struggles.
At 18, her sister brought her to a yoga class, which became a turning point— 11 years later, it is still helping her regulate emotions, build character, and connect with her true self beyond the effects of trauma and anxiety.
Inspired by assisting her mother in youth programs since age 11, Taya has extensive experience facilitating creative mental health programs for children and teens across school districts, from preschool to high school.
She is passionate about empowering youth through self-care, mindfulness, and character development to support both mental and physical well-being.
