Prior to registering for Croatia Pole Camp, I had never heard of Josh Taylor. I booked his Unicorn Porn workshop PURELY because of the name. I mean, who in their right mind would decline to participate in something called Unicorn Porn?? And while there were many, many wonderful things I got from attending my first pole camp, discovering this incredible man was one of the top highlights.
About Josh:
Josh is an absolute firecracker of a personality. He’s loud, proud and

Once we were warm, we did a bit of core work and conditioning. Again, it was not the typical planks, cobras and v-sits that I’m used to. Instead of that, Josh had us doing

Josh has a really lovely way of teaching. He’s able to break each movement down into manageable, bite-sized chunks that feel achievable, even when you’re HORRIBLY out of practice. His style is very chilled out and internally focussed. He likes his students discover a movement that works for them and their bodies. This is a stark contrast to many other trainers I have experienced, who focus much more on creating big movements, with a “larger than life” dance style.

I walked out of Josh’s Unicorn Porn workshop feeling completely inspired and uplifted. In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I signed up for another of his workshops (a floorwork workshop called “Floor Surfing”) on the spot. Unicorn Porn reinspired me at a time when I was feeling a little flat about pole, gave me the motivation to focus a little bit more on my basework and flow in my own regular practice.
