Roots of Taj

The original roots of "TAJ - a source for yoga and wellness" grew out of Tia's past company, Yoga Source, a twenty-two year old Richmond, VA based yoga studio. Though, the insight for TAJ Wellness, was born in utero, literally. During her pregnancy, she would wake up in the wee hours of the morning, with flashes of inspiration more times than she could count. After the closure of Yoga Source in 2022 due to the strains of the COVID pandemic, Tia decided to transform the multi-layered studio concept into a one woman-owned business focused solely on yoga, health and wellness coaching for longevity, and rebuilding community. ​
 

After retiring her role as Owner and Director of Yoga Source for the past fifteen years, she knew it wasn’t truly the end, but just a pause to recalibrate and reflect on what truly matters most. On this life long journey toward wellness, the most important piece to wholeness is a connection to something greater than yourself and the importance of your family. 

As Tia began to connect all of the dots of her past experiences, she soon discovered the path of health and wellness coaching synthesized many parts of her life: her love of movement, dance and fitness, healthy eating, mindfulness, meditation, and the practice of yoga. Teaching, inspiring others and being of service to the community has always been a consistent through line in her life. 

While studying to become a certified health and wellness coach with Dr. Sears Wellness Institute, a space for practice and rebuilding community found Tia and TAJ. With a collaborative effort between Revolution BJJ and TAJ Wellness, a new home for yoga was found. Starting this Fall, TAJ Wellness will begin to offer individual yoga lessons, weekly yoga classes and monthly community events at Revolution BJJ. Additionally, Tia will offer virtual health and wellness coaching sessions by appointment and weekly outdoor wellness walks at select parks in and around Richmond, VA.

Hence, after the birth of Tia's son, Noah Gabriel Taj in 2022, she's happy to announce the birth of TAJ: a source for yoga and wellness in 2023.
