TEAMride Challenge

We’re Changing It Up This Year!

Traditionally, January at TEAMride has marked the month-long TEAMride Moves challenge, where we come together as a community and focus on daily movement & sweat for the entire month. For years, we have enjoyed the challenge & camaraderie of pushing ourselves to a physical limit through movement. And while the value of movement is still undeniable, this year we’re honoring the impact of stillness as a way to support how we move. The benefits of meditation are significant, and now more than ever there is a need to support our community in stress management. So this January, we introduce TEAMride Challenge: Meditation & Movement.

Something that’s definitely staying the same is our emphasis on collaboration within the Sacramento fitness community. In years prior, we’ve done group sweat dates at local fitness studios so this year we’ve invited well-known yoga instructors to join our meditation offering. In addition to our yoga-certified TEAMride Instructors (Dakotah, Chris, Fran & Ashley) we’re proud to welcome Corri Chadwick, Taylor Rynicki & Zach Stahlecker (See Bios below!) to facilitate your daily meditation practice.

Taylor Rynicki

Hello, my name is Taylor Rynicki and I’m a Sacramento based yoga teacher and DONA certified Birth Doula. Yoga led me to self-love and appreciation, which was the catalyst to healing years of personal trauma. I started teaching with the idea that I wanted to host spaces where people could be vulnerable, powerful and find strength within themselves.

I took my very first Teacher training in 2011 and it catapulted me into a life I never I knew I needed. Yoga has created an opportunity for me to work through trauma, process difficult times in my life, and discover self-love and acceptance through the movement and exploration of myself. I strive to create brave spaces of inclusion and classes where people can do the same: explore their personal strength and love through movement.

I find myself continually humbled by the opportunity to teach among an enriched
community of people, with their own ability to inspire. My wish for anyone that practices with me is that they feel comfortable in their body, they feel empowered, strong, and ultimately, they feel loved.

I am in this work because I believe wholeheartedly that self-discovery through movement is vital to every humxn and liberation is possible. We have to start small, here with ourselves, on our mats.

I am committed to this work today and every day.
