Taylor Macgillivary

Taylor is a thrill seeking, adventure and travel loving human. If he's not snowboarding, cycling or hanging around Jeremie and Brian, he's running yoga studios with his life long lover Kyla...or playing video games...with Jeremie and/or Brian.

Growing up as a much too macho hockey player, Taylor found a yoga practice when he was 19 years old and changed his tune towards positivity, human potential and his life perspective.

His life long friendship with Brian Stever, and his newfound bromance, Jeremie Saunders during their inaugural yoga teacher training in 2011, led him to be a co-create Sickboy Podcast with Brian and Jeremie. Since 2015, the trio have been breaking down barriers and destroying the stigma around discussing illness and death, while bringing laughter and lightness to a typically taboo and negative conversation. Striving to change the way people think and talk about being sick, Taylor learns more about himself and the world with each passing conversation and every fascinating guest.
