Meet Taya 🩵
Originally from Kyiv, Ukraine, Taya has called Oceanside home for the past four years and has been part of the Surf Salutations community since April 2025.
She first found us after a client invited her to try a class, and since then, the studio has become a regular part of her week. You’ll find her mixing it up with Sculpt, Power, Strength and Fusion, often in the early morning before the day gets busy.
One of our favorite things Taya shared:
“Just showing up is already a win.”
She’s learned to focus less on comparing herself to others and more on becoming stronger, more consistent, and kinder to herself along the way.
And if you see Taya around the studio, be sure to give her a BIG congratulations—she got married last weekend! 🤍💍 We’re so happy for her and loved getting to celebrate this exciting season of life with her.
Head to the link in our bio to read her full Member Spotlight blog post and learn more about her story, favorite classes, Oceanside spots, and what she’d tell anyone nervous about trying a new studio.
