About Terry
Welcome.
I found yoga in my mid-30’s. I was so excited that it didn’t require shoes because I have ridiculously narrow feet. I fell in love with yoga. Then in my early 50’s I started strength training. I fell in L O V E with strength training. I feel better than ever at 58 and I want to help others feel that way too.
I teach with heart and humor and endless hours of education. I love to learn. I love to share what I learn. I believe laughter is the best medicine and an essential part of any movement practice.
My classes blend science and spirit, breath work and belly laughs, movement and meditation. I teach yoga and movement for everyday humans. No pretzel poses here.
It is my mission to help people, especially those of us mid century and beyond, get moving, get breathing, and get to know or remember joy on a regular basis. Have three hours to read my resume? Click here.
My clients are 50+ interested in ageless strength and flexibility. They have a desire to feel at home in their own skin. And they want to live the last chapter of their life OUT LOUD and JOYfull!
From coast to coast.
I was born and raised in Maine. I love trees and all things cozy. I currently live in a suburb of Los Angeles with my wife Brie, a Spanish teacher, and two rescue dogs, Bob and Coqueta. I hope one day to live bi-coastal. Since I’m bi-sexual… it only makes sense;)
I am a teacher who prefers:
Playful over performance. Welcoming over wow. Full tops over half tops. Smart over show off.
I LOVE MUSIC! I think I would like to be the person who picks out music for a movie…What a cool job. Not as cool as mine though!
Like all humans, I get caught up in the overly-busy, overly-stimulated, world that values DOING over BEING. Does that ever happen to you?
I’ve got tons of tools to help you get back to living a life more magical, less habitual. I’m in my late-50’s. My hair is getting grayer by the minute. AND I’m letting my light shine brighter than ever. I’m strong AND flexible. I’m present through all the messiness that is life. I even let my wife have the last word…sometimes.
Let’s get moving, get breathing, and get to know joy. Together.
Fun Facts About Me.
My favorite place on earth: MAINE!

I am a “cat” person with two rescue dogs, zero cats. They are pure LOVE. Bob, the terrier mix, and Coqueta, the chihuahua mix.
I love oracle and tarot cards.
I’m learning piano. It hurts my brain in a good way.
