Terri Morrison

There are moments when the body needs a physical challenge and those moments when life presents the challenges for you, moments when simply quieting the mind, coming to breath are what the body needs. Terri strives to create an atmosphere where the needs of each individual are respected. Believing in the benefits of moving meditation, she strives to cultivate this in her classes through the combination of flowing asana, directed poses and instruction, peaceful music and the suggestion of setting an intention. Whether teaching a powerful, athletic class or a gentle class for beginners, she emphasizes a gratitude for life through an appreciation and celebration of the body, and spirit – just as it is at this moment. Acceptance, beginning with self is emphasized. Her goal is for students to leave feeling balanced and at peace.

Terri's path has been one of many diversions. She came to the practice with a curiosity and a desire to find a new way to exercise, ironically choosing an "exercise" thousands of years old. Initially yoga was just a physical practice for her, providing many fun challenges. In fact, she could often be caught sneaking out of class during Savasana (relaxation). Over the years, as life presented many highs and lows, yoga became helped her find balance along the way. She now has tremendous respect for this ancient practice and has a deep desire to pass this gift to others.

Terri is a certified E-200 RYT with Yoga Alliance. A perpetual student of yoga who feeds her desire for growth by attending national conferences and workshops, teaching, tending to her personal practice and through self study. When off the yoga mat she can be found at the studio joyfully working, or at home gratefully savoring her simple yet abundant life, filled with loving friends and extended family, supportive husband, two amazing daughters, and numerous pets.
