Formally trained with a Master's degree in Education, she works directly with students and trains others to teach TriYoga. Diagnosed with scoliosis at age 10, Theresa wore a back brace for 23 hours a day through all four years of high school. She avoided physical activity in every way, except swimming (a way to survive the heat of Texas summers). Thus when she came to yoga in her early 20’s (attempting to avoid burnout after her first year of teaching), she was pleasantly surprised to discover that moving her body in yoga felt good. She credits yoga with keeping her free of chronic pain despite the significant scoliosis. Her passion for TriYoga and loving presence invite others into an awareness that brings a fuller flow to life.
