"Taylor essentially saved my body, mind and athletic career. I am forever indebted."
"I came to Taylor ready to throw in the towel with chronic pain and constant setbacks after being hit by a car. After getting to work on my "brain pain" with a combination of mobility, breath work and neurology he essentially saved my body, mind and athletic career. I am forever indebted."
~ Ashley Heller, Spartan Pro Athlete
Hello!
I am Taylor Kruse.
My journey into being a health and movement coach began as a 15 year old in the basement reading Arnold Schwarzenegger's biography and lifting weights with a bench press that my father found for me at the local transfer station.
I quickly ran out of weights, bench pressing 300lbs before my 16th birthday.
The journey continued and my interest in physical performance grew. I participated in multiple sports, including wrestling at the collegiate level.
I reached an elite level of conditioning but was left to question myself and my resources as I experienced many chronic injuries, which ultimately ended my competitive career.
Fortunately, a special person/coach showed up in my life at exactly the right time. This was the beginning of an educational journey that eventually introduced me to what I consider the “paradigm shift," Applied Neuroscience.
Learning about the brain and nervous system gave me tools with unlimited potential and a rationale for the "what" and the “why." And, it solved my chronic pain issues that had previously plagued my athletic career!
Now, I work with clients to improve the connection between their brain and body so that they can better trust, listen to and understand their body as they move through the world more efficiently and pain-free.
Introducing...
Neuro Dojo
The Neuro Dojo is a virtual coaching experience for individuals seeking clarity and direction on their journey to maintain fitness without the aches and pains.
We teach you the critical thinking skills and tools needed for dismantling pain, moving better and becoming the authority on your own body.
Using a health first approach, we combine applied neuroscience and movement. You’ll learn how to target the brain and the body in a way that is specific to your needs.
LET'S BREAK IT DOWN
Here's what you'll learn...
MONTH 1: Neuroscience 101
What is neuroscience and why are we starting with the brain? We dive deep into your personalized movement assessments to learn how to decrease threat and unlock your potential.
You'll learn our immediate feedback assessment process which will set you up to build your own personalized program. You'll know exactly which exercises are making you better so you can focus your practice and save time for doing the things you love.
MONTH 2: Body Mapping
Learn how to move every joint in your body through a full range of motion so you can feel better from head to toe.
We begin reprogramming your brains maps for movement using specific mobility and motor control drills. These mobility drills begin in month 2 and are sprinkled into every week through the whole 6 month program.
MONTH 3: Respiration
Learn how to mobilize and stretch your main muscle for breathing, the diaphragm, in order to unlock your spine, strengthen your core and increase your stamina.
Transforming as a person requires that you have adequate fuel capacity for the demand. By learning to train your breathing you'll super charge your chemistry, ignite energy and improve recovery.
MONTH 4: Equilibrium
We'll target the missing link for mastering your body. An introduction to your most sophisticated navigational instrument for balance and body awareness - The Vestibular System.
Learning several exercises to improve your balance and stability will pay huge dividends for your overall posture, will help you drop unwanted tension and improve the way you move through the world.
MONTH 5: Vision
Your eyes are your dominant sensory tool for moving through the world. By targeting the visual system, we will dismantle pain and make you cognitively and physically a faster human.
How do vision exercises do this? Vision exercises effect overall muscle tone, resulting in a drop of tension and discomfort. Vision drills effect how you orient and interact with the world, impacting your posture, how you walk and how you feel when we move.
MONTH 6: Integration
The coordination of our many senses. This is where we assimilate and create. Use your newly developed skills with confidence to freely and intelligently approach your health and fitness in the way that is optimal for your unique needs.
Take your newfound exercises and organize them into a meaningful practice to continue beyond this course. You now have tools to draw on and a reliable assessment process to be sure that you are practicing drills that make you feel better and move better.

Our Story...
When we first started our careers we quickly learned that there are a huge number of people suffering with ongoing tension and aches despite having no clinically diagnosable issue! This gap between the fitness and rehab world was fascinating to us. Back then, the corrective exercise industry was just beginning to emerge. We dove deep into every course available to fix movement dysfunction so that our clients could exercise safely and without pain. We tried all the things from foam rollers to tools that tack and stretch tissue to muscle testing and everything related to understanding fascia. It wasn't until we began courses from a company that specializes in applied neuroscience that we learned to target exercises to every individuals needs. We learned how to understand the role of the brain and nervous system and started seeing immediate results for ourselves and our clients. The key is that we are all different with unique needs and we can teach you a process we follow to customize an approach that works for YOU.
Neuroscience
Removes the argument about which technique, tool, or program is the best one. Instead, it offers an opportunity to discover and understand what works best for YOU.
Exploring neuroscience allows us to face each obstacle with greater clarity and provides us a roadmap to overcome any issues with greater confidence.
Suddenly, we feel equipped to manage our bodies needs and curious about just how much we can accomplish with these new tools. We may even set goals that once seemed like a dream but now feel like a very real possibility.
Our goals do not have to be confined by our current capabilities, restrictions and obstacles. Instead, we can rediscover our inherent potential and build on every success step-by-step.
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE
If you're like us you've probably tried ALL the things in search of a way to feel better in your body. It's time consuming and discouraging.
We totally get it! You can't take back the time and money spent on dead ends. And, the roller coaster of emotions when you think you've found the next best solution only to discover it wasn't right for you. You're probably wondering how on earth you will have the time to learn a new process and practice new skills. But, that's where we come in! We are here to support you through the discovery process to help you nail down and focus on exercises that make you feel more like you again. We're here to save you time and introduce you to a reliable process that will serve you well beyond the Neuro Dojo.
YES, IT REALLY WORKS
I have been frustrated with some nagging injuries as an athlete and the tools that Neuro Dojo has provided me helps me to be able to nail down and work on things that I didn't even know contributed to my pain.
My journey with neuro dojo started off to further understanding my body as an athlete and clinician. I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and have extensive knowledge of the human body and movement but always eager to learn more.
I have to say that Kruse is a movement genius.
Neuro dojo has completely elevated my knowledge and skills as an athlete.
I highly recommend anyone curious about their body, wanting to up their skills as an athlete, or anyone frustrated with an injury or staleness in training to try out Kruse's information and see for themselves the results.
~Kaci Monroe
The pain I had in a couple of spots when starting the program subsided considerably.
In the Neuro Dojo I enjoyed learning several mobility, breathing, vestibular, vision and neuro-mechanics drills in a brief period and discovered not only how fast the nervous system reacts to all of them but also how to apply the same testing methods to traditional strength and conditioning training to break through plateaus and approach new exercises/progressions more safely. The pain I had in a couple of spots when starting the program subsided considerably. The coaching calls were a lot of fun and complemented the curriculum material with more theory, practice, and real time feedback from Taylor.
~Taha Hachana
My increase in mobility and strength was surpising to me.
Neuro Dojo has been a big help for me as I am closing in on 60 years of age. I have worked out my whole life. It is amazing to see how my body responds to the simple movements. They weren’t always easy to perform at first. My increase in mobility and strength was surprising to me.
Lack of mobility is one of my biggest issues. Zeroing in on the exercises that give me the most benefit, while working on the others, is making measurable improvements in mobility.
My balance is also improved. I had lost the ability to stand on one leg, just stand easily without having to fight it. My body seems to be connected from head to toe much better.
This is what I needed so that I can keep working out at a higher level than most my age.
~Greg Bulgarelli
"The Neuro Dojo was very helpful to work through injuries, aches and pains.
I enhanced my diagnostic and perceptive abilities and now have the tools moving forward to improve my performance.
