Mandy Taylor

Hi, I’m Mandy! Movement has been a passion of mine since the days of early-morning Cindy Crawford workout videos with my high school besties in a church basement. That joy for fitness led me to earn a B.S. in Exercise Science & Health Studies from Iowa State University, along with a variety of certifications over the years. At one point, I owned my own studio right here in the Cedar Valley—Define Yourself Pilates & Yoga Studio—where we shared a lot of laughs, sweat, and community. One of my favorite compliments was when Miah called me “classically trained”—but truthfully, I lean into an “anything goes” mindset in both my classes and my personality.

You can expect a balance of hard work, playful energy, and an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome—whether you’re a well experienced athlete, brand new to movement, or anywhere in between!
