Taiana “TT” James received her yoga teacher certification in 2024 with Humble Haven Yoga in Richmond, Virginia. She has been a modern dance performer, choreographer and dance teacher since 2013, and began teaching with Small World Yoga in 2024. She loves yoga because the practice teaches self love, mind-body connection, and radical empathy towards others. What TT enjoys most about teaching yoga is meeting so many beautiful people. Outside of yoga, TT enjoys studying for her medical school courses, reading books, cooking, watching reality TV, taking care of her cat, and holding space for her friends and family.
