Coach
Natasha Taylor
Lyra
Tash comes from a competitive rhythmic gymnastics background, training for 15 years and representing New Zealand before discovering circus in 2017. Since then, she has performed professionally across a wide range of disciplines including lyra, contortion, hand balance, straps, duo trapeze, Spanish web, hula hoop and acrobatics, alongside more than 10 years of coaching experience.
Her own movement style is smooth, fluid and beautifully controlled, with a strong focus on clean lines and thoughtful transitions. In class, Tash combines strong technical foundations with creativity, using considered warm-ups, active flexibility and clear skill progressions to help students move with more confidence and intention.
Calm, warm and encouraging, Tash brings a gentle energy to class while still giving students plenty to work on. She especially loves exploring new pathways through the hoop, finding interesting ways to connect skills rather than simply moving from trick to trick.
