Originally from Boston, Tess has been practicing yoga since 2010, teaching since 2017, and holds a 500 hour certification. Her teaching style is influenced by her background both as an artist and an athlete: she is an actor and singer who played competitive sports for 15 years. Her freestyle flows pull movement vocabulary from yoga, HIIT, dance, strength training, hand balance, sports, physical therapy, or whatever else she’s vibing with. She focuses on active, functional mobility and accessible mindfulness through creative, modifiable sequencing and an overarching sense of musicality— students can expect to gain strength, flexibility, and confidence in her class. She holds a BA from Wesleyan University, where she triple majored in English, Dance, and Theatre.
