And now he has been so successful that best-selling author Elizabeth Gilbert (Big Magic) said, "I discovered Taylor Somerville’s work on the insight timer meditation app, and he swiftly has become my favorite teacher.

I would recommend his offerings to anybody who wants to embark upon an in-depth journey into the miracle and mystery of breath.

Other topics include coaching, vision boards, habits, journaling, affirmations, Hot & Cold Therapy, and Ultra Marathons.
