About Tahnee
“My work is at the intersection of East/West. From a deep love of studying the body and its workings and the nuances of the human condition, I have discovered my passion for Yin Yoga, Chi Ne Tsang, and Taoist tonic herbs. They overlap, in that they are all influenced by ancient Yogic and Taoist principles and practices, and they share commonality in that they foster in those exposed to them a deeper sense of their own power and purpose and, with time, radiant health and wellbeing.”
Tahnee is interested in the language of the body and the exploration of its stories. She aligns with the ancient wisdom of the Yogic and Daoist traditions to help her students transcend the limitations of the mind and experience freedom by connecting to their own inner teacher. Curiosity, an open mind and a sense of adventure is what Tahnee brings to the Yoga conversation (with a slight obsession for the subtler realms of experience).
Tahnee stumbled upon Yoga young, at 15, through her high school in Far North Queensland, and dabbled in many styles through her late teens and early 20's. The discovery of Yin Yoga in her mid 20’s changed everything. Tahnee founded the studio Yoga for All in Newcastle, NSW, in 2013 (which she no longer owns but is incredibly proud of).
While she is fortunate to have studied with many amazing teachers from many traditions, Tahnee is most grateful to her primary teachers Paul and Suzee Grilley and Tiffany Cruickshank for teaching her how to see and read the body, to Sarah Powers for forging the path into stillness and to Master Mantak Chia for teaching her aspects of the Taoist healing tradition and the Taoist healing massage Chi Nei Tsang. More recently she has been studying with Rod Stryker, enjoying the deep-dive into Hatha and Tantric practice, and Mimi Kuo-Deemer, learning how to merge Yoga and Qigong. Tahnee gave birth to her tiniest teacher in 2016 and counts being a mama as her most important gig.
Tahnee also shares her passion for herbs via her work for SuperFeast and is the co-host of the SuperFeast podcast with her husband, Mason Taylor.
