About
Hello, my name is Tess. I'm a yoga instructor, personal trainer, and acupuncturist living in Oregon, USA, among the emerald trees. Stretch therapy, corrective exercise, and senior fitness are all areas in which I have received specialized training.
My yoga services include private yoga lessons in person and online, as well as a weekly Zoom group class. Yoga isn't always right for everyone or every goal, so I also offer non-yoga hands-on stretch sessions using research-backed assisted stretching techniques. I'd love to be a part of your wellness journey!
After 15 years of working with a wide range of students, I have developed a yoga teaching style that combines Eastern wisdom with anatomy-informed alignment and research supported techniques. I provide each student with a gentle yoga experience that's tailored to their specific needs and goals. In a nutshell, I bring the yoga pose to your body rather than forcing your body into the pose.
The following are some goals I have successfully helped my students and clients achieve:
- Strengthen the body-mind connection and intuition.
- Correct posture imbalances and movement patterns.
- Learn anatomy, alignment, and how to modify poses and exercises.
- Improve sport performance and recovery.
- Manage stiffness caused by osteoarthritis, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis and other medical conditions.
- Facilitate a safe return to exercise after recovering from surgery or injury (doctor’s release is required)
Let's chat about how I can help you!
