She completed her adult yoga teacher training in Refined Flow Yoga under the tutelage of Leslie Luft and Elyce Neuhauser and her children’s yoga, teen’s yoga, and trauma-informed yoga certifications through Yoga Ed. She is also certified in restorative yoga. Theresa started teaching yoga at USDAN in the summer of 2019. Outside of teaching yoga, Theresa is a public school orchestra teacher and musician. Being a music teacher has positively informed her role as a yoga teacher and vice versa, as she’s seen the true value of mindfulness and self-care in both children and adults.
