Taylor Somerville

Taylor Somerville is a breathwork coach in Memphis, Tennessee, and the founder of Symmetry, which he set up in 2018. Before that he spent about fifteen years in finance, a pace that left him worn out and looking for a steadier way to live, and the search led him to breath training. He is a master coach in the XPT method, the breath, movement and recovery approach developed by Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece, and holds a Breath Science Practitioner certificate.

His teaching is practical and body-based. He starts with how a person actually breathes, then layers in slow nasal breathing, breath-holds, energising rounds and guided rest, with gentle stretching and visualisation at times. Most of his clients are busy professionals, athletes and teams who want calmer, clearer responses in daily life. In Memphis he leads small-group heat and ice classes that pair sauna, cold plunges and breathwork, and he coaches people one to one and in groups, both locally and online. Companies book him for workplace wellbeing sessions. He also runs an on-demand library of recorded breath classes and shares short guided practices on Insight Timer, where his sessions focus on energy, morning routines and deep relaxation.
