FACULTY

Strala Trainings are all led entirely by the founders. Our program is backed by mind-body medicine pioneer Dr. Deepak Chopra, and Harvard neurology professor and Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Rudolph Tanzi.

Tara Stiles has been hailed as "Yoga Rebel" (The New York Times), and “The Coolest Yoga Instructor Ever” (Vanity Fair). She is the co-founder of Strala Yoga, she works with Bill Clinton’s Alliance for a Healthier Generation, and she has collaborated with Deepak Chopra on apps, DVDs, and other projects. Stiles she has been featured in Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Lucky, InStyle, Esquire, Shape, and the New York Times, and she is the author of Make Your Own Rules Diet, Yoga Cures, and Slim Calm Sexy Yoga.

Tara studied classical dance with ABT Principal Rory Foster, and choreography with Paul Taylor original member and world renowned master Eileen Cropley.

Tara began sharing yoga with friends and anyone she would meet who wanted to feel better, since the late 90s. Her approach has contributed to shifting the evolution of yoga away from gurus, dogma and rigidity towards an accessible practice for everyone.

Mike Taylor is the resident healer and co-founder of Strala. Named “Best Mover” by MindBodyGreen, he’s practiced Eastern movement and healing techniques, including tai chi, qigong, and shiatsu, for more than three decades.

In his younger years, Mike challenged centuries of reasonable and well-tested martial traditions in hundreds of competitions, by applying unruly imagination to a world where rules were unbreakable. As he got older, he continued on to medical applications of the mind-body connection in university. Mike studied mind-body medicine at Harvard, and alternative medicine and psychology at Oxford. After running into walls with standard medical practice in the U.S. and England, Mike left his healthcare roots. He worked at a steel mill for a while, joined a web company, and then founded a few more.

Now Mike has found his way back to health care done right, helping people let go of stress in their bodies and minds, and become their own best caregivers. Mike climbs a few mountains in his spare time.
