TERESA MALLORY

I have been practicing yoga since 2018. I received my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Solfire Studio (Sacramento, CA) where I am still highly involved as a member and staff. I am also involved with nonprofits, including Yoga Moves Us and HOPE Cooperative as a Yoga Instructor.  

Not only am I a Yoga Instructor but a dancer, an athlete, a community advocate, a friend, a sister and a daughter. Beyond the labels, like many, there have been multiple life events where I was convinced self worth and/or abilities were depleted. At some points all I could do was get myself on my yoga mat. 

I chose my mat because yoga poses allowed me to be present and only think about the pose. This allowed a great escape, but at the same time, powerful clarity on how to keep going. It was yoga that saved me again and again. I want to share that with as many people as possible. The consistent practice taught me love and how to trust the process just by listening to my true self on my mat. 

Life is still hard, yet with the tools of yoga and community I am able to navigate my mind to exceed my own expectations. Yoga works! Everyone deserves yoga. I have made it a goal to give my best self to others on their yoga mat, because I believe everyone has earned their turn in life to release the greatness they have deep inside. By joining my mind-body flow others will experience great music, self-awareness, physical breakthroughs and have fun!
