After years of teaching maths and english, Serena Taylor turned her passion into profession and opened her own yoga studio, inspired by its meditative and healing qualities which she credits with curing her asthma and chronic fatigue.
In September 2023, Serena purchased a unit on Knighton high street in Powys, and began transforming it into a calm, welcoming space. Just a few months later, Serenity Muay Thai and Yoga opened its doors, offering a wide range of classes including breathwork, sound bathing, stretching and meditation. Now Serena, a trained yoga instructor, welcomes people of all ages and abilities to her sessions – from mum and baby yoga, to dance and Muay Thai Boxing classes.
With no previous business experience, Serena turned to Business Wales after a friend recommended their support services. She accessed training courses in marketing, finance and business tax which gave her the practical knowledge and confidence to get her business off the ground.
Thanks to the support she received from Business Wales, Serena has grown her passion project into a thriving local business and a cherished part of the community.
