Come To Your Senses with Taryn Toomey
Founder of cult-favorite, The Class, Taryn Toomey is a longtime muse of ours and a guiding force in the world of embodied ritual. It felt only natural to feature her first in our Come to Your Senses series—a celebration of inspiring perspectives on sight, scent, sound, taste, and touch.
Her cathartic movement practice blends sound, breath, and physicality to open the body as a channel for emotional release and presence. With a reverence for beauty, sensation, and the unseen, Taryn leads others into deeper connection with themselves.
