HI, I'M THERESA!
For me, yoga offers the possibility of change.
It is a practice in paying attention: to the alignment and sensations of the body, the rhythm of the breath, and 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. To live on purpose.
Through my teaching, I aim to cultivate this attention through slow movement, interoception, and humor. My classes do not subscribe to one particular style. I offer various methods of practice held together with the thread of attention- and this blend of practice should also be fun and leave your body (physical and emotional) feeling better.
I have been heavily influenced by many years of study with Barbara Benagh in Boston, with whom I completed my 500-hour training in 2014, and Richard Freeman in Boulder, including his Teachers’ Intensive in 2014. I love anatomy and am a certified KMI Movement and Structural Analyst under Tom Myers.
I got my start teaching at Open Doors on the South Shore in my hometown, and founded Bow Street Yoga in Union Square, Somerville in 2009, where I continue to teach.
