About Us
HAYA comes from the Arabic word hayat, which means life-giving. HAYA was created to help community members and professionals heal and elevate the mind, body, and spirit utilizing a natural and holistic approach.
With more than thirteen years of fitness, yoga, and coaching experience, as well as six years as a financial services professional, HAYA’s founder, Taylor B. Johnson combines knowledge, expertise, and personal experience to help bridge the gap between individuals and the products, practices, and practitioners they need to support them on their healing journey.
Taylor was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, and has guided individuals and groups of all ages in yoga, mindfulness, fitness, and other forms of mindful movement all over the world. A passion for uplifting her hometown, Taylor offers free community wellness classes throughout the Dayton area and online; serves on an advisory board for Dayton’s Life Enrichment Center; leads a women of color empowerment group for Evolve Women; serves as Secretary for the T.R.I.B.E. Cooperative; and is involved in non-profit organizations West Dayton Strong and Spectrum New Beginnings. Taylor’s passion is to inspire individuals in her community and beyond to understand their ailments on a metaphysical level and equip them with the support they need to transform their minds, bodies, and spirits so that they can live healthily and happily as they were created to.
