I found myself in a yoga studio long before I found my way onto my mat. I began working for a yoga studio in Miami right out of college as a means of supporting myself while I pursued my dreams of becoming a published writer. It wasn’t long before my curiosity (and a little pressure from my boss) lead me into my first Power Yoga class. After several months of solid practice yoga became the foundation of my daily routine and just one year later I had completed my 200-Hour Teacher Training with Paul Toliuszis.
After spending another six-months intensifying my own practice, I built up the confidence to step in front of students and I now lead classes with the enthusiasm and skill set of a seasoned yogi. My approach to teaching yoga is basically my approach to life: don’t take anything too seriously and work with what you’ve got. I encourage my students to stretch themselves safely in their practice and laugh when they look less graceful than they expect to. I love guiding my students through thoughtful and original sequences while they enjoy my eclectic upbeat playlists.

Thanks, Theresa! Can’t wait to follow your blog 🙂
Greetings from India! Yes yoga is a philosophy and along with meditation brings into balance the body and mind!
Best wishes for a joyous and fulfilling life!
Oh I wish you can instruct me and I get my 200+ hours of yoga in your class. Thank you for inspiring me. I’ll have to do it at home in the mean time!
Love your yoga thoughts. When I lived on south beach though I practiced Bikram. Wish I lived in yoga friendly town still.
I found your blog from a freshly pressed post… I’m thinking of getting into yoga and I will be spending half my time in Miami. Where’s your studio? South Beach?
Hi there, I work at a studio called Green Monkey. There’s one location on Miami Beach and another one in South Miami – I teach at both. You can check out my schedule to see when I’m teaching, otherwise visit greenmonkey.net for more info! Hope you get on your mat soon!
Have never really delved into Yoga and I actually ‘stumbled upon’ your blog – and guess what, I am so glad I did. New follower!
Namaste! Stumbling upon your blog made my day. 🙂
So glad! Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks Christina! Thanks for the nomination! And I would LOVE to have you in my classes in Miami, however I’ll be moving to NYC in September. Feel free to check me out up there any time though 🙂
Good for you! I love NYC and will definitely get in touch should I make it back there at some point.
I’ve been following you for a while now, and absolutely love you and your sense of humour! I’ve been practising for about three years now, and am going to embark on an intense yoga teacher training course in August. I’ll be looking out for your posts of encouragement! 😀

Thank you so much for your support! you’re going to love teacher training. It is life altering and so inspiring. And I’ll be sure to keep the content coming 🙂 While I fell in love with yoga a couple years back, writing has been my passion since I was a kid. Glad it’s inspiring my fellow yogis!

Hi there, I don’t know if you ‘do’ blog awards, but I have nominated you for one (details on my home page, if you wish) as I’ve been enjoying reading your posts on yoga in such a different setting to my own.
