More About
Tessa began practicing yoga in high school. A a dedicated cross country runner, she took a yoga class thinking it would be helpful to do some stretching. Upon practicing she realized how much more there was to yoga than simply stretching and holding a pose. She thought she was self aware before she found herself crying on the mat after some hip openers, an experience yogis are quite familiar with.The yoga mat was the first time she began to feel truly embodied. She came home to herself through this practice and she is passionate about sharing it with others. Yoga has brought grounding and an inner peace to Tessa. She fully believes that you can also access this peace that possible for us all with awareness and a little practice. 

Tessa is thrilled to be offering classes, after completing her 200hr YTT in June 2024, and walking with her students in their journeys. She hopes to provide a supportive, safe space, in which students are encouraged to experiment and expand their yoga practice and connect with their inner world. 

Tessa lives in Kerhonkson where she is constantly in awe of the stunning mountains around her. Her little family with her partner, two dogs and two cats are her home. When she’s not practicing, Tessa works for a dog breeder caring for a pack of collies and two horses. She is also a passionate painter and loves to experiment with cooking new recipes in her free time. 

There are two ways of spreading light. To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
