Zumba With Tai

Tai’s zumba class is amazing. Her choreography is generally easy to follow, and easy to modify to your preference. The 14^th Avenue space is really big and there are no mirrors. I find this incredibly liberating. No one is fighting for mirror space, and you can really focus on your body movement and getting your endorphins moving.
I was first introduced to this class via groupon, and recently bought a 20 class package directly from Tai.
I definitely recommend, especially if you live in the neighborhood.

This review is a little overdue.
The class is absolutely great! Tai is super energetic, fun, and sweet :) You can always count on hearing new music and learning new dance moves while shredding those pound :)
Will be back!
Only one little suggestion: it would have been great if there were mirrors in the room.

Tai is a really great instructor and an awesome dancer! You can tell she really enjoys what she does and you can also tell that her students love her. The first class was a little difficult to keep up, but after a few more classes you get the hang of the music and routines.
The only thing I wish the location had were mirrors. It would help students see if they’re doing the moves correctly. The mirrors would also help when your view is blocked of Tai. But other than that it’s a fun class to be in.

I’ve been taking Taina’s classes for almost 2 years now. She’s a great dancer and teacher. Her music is fantastic and varied — she’s always coming up with new routines. When you go to class, prepare yourself for lots of booty shaking! :)

Tal is such an inspiring and supportive Zumba teacher, I don’t even know where to begin this review. Tal is clearly an experienced dancer, and is able to communicate this expertise to everyone in the class, including beginners. Her classes challenge all levels of zumba students and include a great mix of high energy and groove rhythms – perfect for a calorie-​burning workout as well as a fun dance experience. I am so happy I found Tal!

I jus took my first Zumba class ever and did Tai’s class today, She has got fantastic energy! She created choreography that flowed to the music and was easy to pick up right away. Music selection was great as it really gets you into the rhythm and gets your adrenalin pumping. Was so much fun– I am really looking forward to the next one!

Zumba with Taina is the best way to pass an hour exercising! The music is great, Taina’s energy is infectious and the people who come to her class are all so warm and supportive. It’s a great overall workout and I always feel better afterwards.

Zumba with Tai is absolutely awesome. A class that you just don’t want to miss.

I can never really express how HAPPY I am to found Tai’s Zumba class. Her class are full of energy and dynamic, that makes this class to be the BEST out-​there. Music choice and choreography dance are so much fun!!! And easy steps to follow … I would recommend it and once you know her you fall in love with her class.

Hand down best Zumba class I ever attended!
Not only is Tai energetic but her class is a very positive and happy environment where you can’t help but smile and dance!
I attempted many different classes before and never have I felt so welcome as I did in this class. Highly recommend it, especially if you are intimidated by new classes as I am.

Best Zumba class in San Francisco and the Bay Area!
I have tried other Zumba classes and I felt lost in the choreography. Taina has choreography that is fun to do! She doesn’t use the same Zumba choreography or music like the rest of the instructors. It is a dance routine that makes sense… There’s a great flow to the steps and music. She spends time picking out Latin music that is original, fun and makes you want to dance! I have learned so many styles of Latin and current dance routines that I never thought I could do. I never thought I would be able to even do a Zumba class! Taina made it happen! Her classes have been beneficial to my health overall and I LOVE attending class! We also have a great class that feels like family when we are around each other. It’s always a fantastic night at Zumba!!!

Listen… If you ever get a chance to take Tai’s Zumba® class, DO IT! I stopped by Tai’s class while on a trip and it was fantastic! I am Zumba® instructor and am very critical of other instructors, but Tai has it all! She cares about her participants, she sticks to the format, the variety of music and rhythm she uses in class is so world-​wide, she keeps the choreography simple so everyone can follow along and feel successful. She is also group fitness certified through AFAA which means that she knows how to properly choreograph/​teach ensuring that what she does in class is safe for the participants and that she is able to correct any unsafe movements.
P. S. She’s super nice, too!

There is nothing you won’t like about Tai.
She…
is energetic
can dance, even though I lack the ability
has excellent song choices
will make you sweat
I’ve taken Zumba from 3 different people, she is definitely my favorite. She’s one of the top reasons I bought so many class packages and sessions at Purusha Yoga. There is a reason her class has much more people than the rest, people love her. Maybe it’s her personality, dance moves, or whatnot; but her class is packed with Tai followers just like me. Sometimes it takes motivation to go to class but once you’re there, you will be glad you came.
Strap on your tennis shoes and Zumba with Tai!!!

I absolutely love Tai’s zumba classes. I’ve been taking her classes at Purusha Yoga for a couple months. You will work up a sweat and have a great cardio workout, while toning your muscles, and having fun dancing with a room full of women. Tai’s energy is infectious and I love every minute of the class… even when my legs are burning :) Music is great, she does a great job of mixing up songs/​dance routines while keeping some of the same, so if you go repeatedly you get to dance to some of your favorite songs and always try something new too. No complaints whatsoever about these classes!
