Meet Terry
My philosophy is helping you help yourself, your personal desire and a personalized program are the components for steady improvement.
I was first introduced to yoga in the mid-nineties with teachers from the Sivananda lineage, and have since studied further with teachers from different lineages. After completing my basic 200 hour yoga teacher certification with Varsha Bakshani at Ojas Yoga Center, I further completed a 300 hour certification with a therapeutic concentration of restorative and adaptive yoga under the guidance of Judith (Hamsa) Spagnola from Intergral Yoga. As a 500 hour certified yoga teacher, I endeavor to bring to my teachings my love of people and yoga.
Through out my career and life I have enjoyed working with and bringing out the best in others. I consider life a journey and my professional journey included stops in medical and technical sales, sales training and thirty years as general manager of a manufacturing facility. My personal journey is highlighted by time spent with my wife, two daughters and two grandchildren. Throughout this time I have enjoyed coaching youth sports and being involved in community affairs.
I personal believe that a yoga path will bring rewards to anyone and at anytime in their life. My reward is guiding them in their personal journey of fulfillment. I often reflect on a comment made by a experienced fellow student, in my early years as a student of yoga. He was asked how often he practiced yoga at home. The reply was "Everyday all day long, I breathe deep, stay focused on my task and take an extra stretch when I lean over to pick something up" This concept of "living with yoga" is incorporated in to my teaching and daily life.
My teaching experience includes group classes at local yoga studios, fitness centers, Libraries, Parks, Apartment Buildings, Adult Day Care Centers, and Home Studio. In addition to the group classes, I have both assisted and have been the lead teacher in numerous Yoga Teacher Certification training's and I have taught many one-on-one private session.
