Teri is widely recognized as a leading expert in the teaching of hot yoga and its use in healing the body, mind, and spirit. Since becoming a yoga teacher in 2005, she has dedicated herself to helping people live healthier, happier lives through the practice of yoga. Teri discovered yoga after a severe neck injury left her with chronic pain and limited mobility. In her quest to avoid spine surgery, she explored various alternative solutions, but it was the practice of hot yoga that ultimately relieved her pain and restored her full range of motion. From her very first class, Teri knew that hot yoga would heal her neck, and she also realized she was meant to become a yoga teacher.

 

Since then, Teri has focused on the healing aspects of the original hot yoga series. As a leading expert in therapeutic yoga, studios around the world consult with her to help students with chronic illnesses and injuries access the benefits of yoga and embark on their healing journeys. She has a unique ability to make yoga accessible, even to those who believe they can't practice it.

 

With over a decade of experience mentoring yoga teachers worldwide, Teri is also the author of *The Toolbox*, a resource guide for Bikram yoga instructors. She is the founder of Teach from Love, an organization that provides teacher training and continuing education for yoga instructors.
