Taylor talks about how the breath is one of the key components of changing your mental and physical health.

Taylor Somerville, founder of Symmetry and breathwork coach, teaches individuals and groups, both in-person and virtually, on how to use the breath to combat stress. After working in the investment business for 15 years and going through a divorce in 2014, Taylor discovered breathwork as a way to deal with the stress and anxiety in his personal and professional life. Through breathwork, Taylor was able to learn how to respond to stressful situations in a productive manner rather than reacting. In 2017, after seeing the positive changes in himself, Taylor felt a calling to help others with improving their own stress management, anxiety, athletic performance and overall health and wellness. Taylor focuses on teaching you these tools to empower yourself.
