Teresa Morrow, RYT 200; Butterfly Yoga Studio
Yoga has been a very important part in Teresa’s life for many years. As a younger student, Teresa enjoyed practicing many different styles including Hatha, Bikram, Ashtanga and Kundalini yoga, which allowed her to be in great physical shape and prepared her to take her weekly 6 mile run. But in 2004, at the age of 36, Teresa had an emergency hysterectomy to remove a large benign tumor. To recover from surgery, one of her yoga teachers suggested to try Yin yoga, or a gentle more restorative class. Teresa began practicing gentle yoga, and immediately fell in love with the slow flow and deeper poses. Her teacher had a soft, healing touch, and included much of the philosophy in her practice. Teresa’s mental and physical fatigue from long working hours was gone! She always felt rested and had lots of energy throughout the day. Also, she began to feel more compassion for her body and all living things. Teresa wanted everyone around her to feel the way she did. So she began showing her family and friends how to do the gentle poses, and they all loved it as well. In 2006, Her Husband’s job offered him a transfer to Texas from California, and Teresa worried when she notice there was no studios in her area that offered the same gentle yoga class she fell in love with. So in 2008, she decided to take a 200 hour, Anusara Yoga Teacher Training at Surya Center for Yoga in Coppell, TX with teachers and studio owners, Lisa Marshall and Shannon Buffington. She currently is working on teaching Restore and Relax and Yoga 4 Cancer Survivors with Lisa Ware, at Butterfly Yoga Studio, a lovely, tranquil and serene studio in her home.
Teresa still enjoys the many different styles of yoga and attends several workshops per year, but she loves to teach gentle yoga to the new student who has never tried yoga before, and makes them fall in love with their practice, she also encourages them to spread their wings.
