Elevate Yourself with Yoga
Hi, I'm Tess!
With over 20 years of yoga practice and teaching, I’m passionate about empowering you to embrace authenticity and live a vibrant life. Teaching yoga is a true joy, from witnessing the brilliance of your inner light to sharing moments of profound connection in every class. Being of service and making a positive impact is at the heart of my teaching, whether it’s offering early morning classes or providing sessions for those who can’t afford them.
My personal journey mirrors the transformative power of yoga. Starting my practice two decades ago for physical strength and flexibility, I discovered its profound impact on my mind. As a Type A person with anxiety, yoga became my sanctuary, offering the balance and grounding I needed. Now, I’m inspired to share how yoga can help everyone grow personally and attain both physical and mental strength. My passion is extending yoga to those who need it most, teaching movement, breath, and body/mind awareness for ease in both body and mind.
Outside of yoga, I’m a dedicated translator and cherish outdoor moments with my family and friends. Join me on this transformative path—your radiant, authentic life awaits!
