Taiya is a somatic practitioner with many years of teaching experience. She gives body-oriented resilience and mindfulness trainings at universities in Germany. She holds a PhD in dance studies. In her dissertation she worked on the political dimension of bodies and dance in relation to globalization. The basis of this theoretical work was an extensive period of empirical research within the Contemporary Dance scene in Germany. She has also worked on the political dimensions of body-notions in the field of somatics. Her approach is characterized by love for somatic work on the one hand and the desire to question its discursive foundations on the other.
