Movement was always Taryn’s true north.
Taryn Toomey birthed The Class method because she wanted to add fire to her yoga practice, release energy, and build resilience. She found that repetitive movements and expressing through sound allowed her to access and understand her patterns from an objective perspective. What started as a personal medicinal practice became the seed of an idea.
A new practice is born.
Taryn taught the evolving method for almost two years with no name until “The Class” was born in 2013. In 2017, The Class opened its first studio in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York—a womb-like container that invited students to get out of their mind and drop into their body.
From a boutique fitness studio to a global wellness company.
In an effort to bring the method to students around the world, The Class launched its Digital Studio in October 2019. The Class carried students through the pandemic, helping them release stress, process emotion, work through uncertainty, and become more resilient during turbulent times. Today, The Class Digital Studio streams its signature method as well as yoga and meditation practices in 71 countries around the world.
