HI, I'M THERESA!
For me, yoga offers the possibility of change.
It is a practice in paying attention: attention to the alignment and sensations of the postures, attention to the rhythm of the breath, and attention to the emotions and thoughts arising in each moment. This increased awareness provides a choice — a space in which to take a breath instead of just reacting.
In my classes, I aim to cultivate this attention through slow movement, interoception, and humor. My own practice provides relief from anxiety and overthinking, creates a more comfortable body, and nurtures so much joy and appreciation for life. I teach at Bow Street Yoga in Union Square, a small neighborhood studio I founded in 2009.
I have been studying yoga for over a decade. I completed my initial 200-hour teacher training with Open Doors Yoga Studios in my hometown of Weymouth, MA. My teaching has been heavily influenced by seven years of study with Barbara Benagh in Boston, with whom I completed my 500-hour training in 2014. I have also studied under Richard Freeman and completed his 200-hour Teachers’ Intensive in Boulder 2014. I am a certified KMI Movement and Structural Analyst.
