About
Hello, my name is Tess. I'm a yoga instructor, personal trainer, and acupuncturist living in Oregon, USA, among the emerald trees. Stretch therapy, corrective exercise, and senior fitness are all areas in which I have received specialized training.
My yoga services include private yoga lessons in person and online, as well as a weekly Zoom group class. Yoga isn't always right for everyone or every goal, so I also offer non-yoga hands-on stretch sessions using research-backed assisted stretching techniques. I'd love to be a part of your wellness journey!
After 15 years of working with a wide range of students, I have developed a yoga teaching style that combines Eastern wisdom with anatomy-informed alignment and research supported techniques. I provide each student with a gentle yoga experience that's tailored to their specific needs and goals. In a nutshell, I bring the yoga pose to your body rather than forcing your body into the pose.
The following are some goals I have successfully helped my students and clients achieve:
- Strengthen the body-mind connection and intuition.
- Correct posture imbalances and movement patterns.
- Learn anatomy, alignment, and how to modify poses and exercises.
- Improve sport performance and recovery.
- Manage stiffness caused by osteoarthritis, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis and other medical conditions.
- Facilitate a safe return to exercise after recovering from surgery or injury (doctor’s release is required)
Let's chat about how I can help you!
I'm a Yoga Alliance registered instructor and certified personal trainer with ACE with 15+ years of experience working in the fitness-wellness industry. I'm also a nationally acredited acupuncturist (NCCAOM), with a Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine and a Bachelor's degree in Dance.

Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
I have taken yoga and pilates classes with Tess for over 3 years now. What I enjoy about her classes is that she has a structure to it, but she incorporates some flexibility in regards to the needs of her students, be it addressing certain muscle groups, or suggesting different levels of a particular exercise or pose. She is one of the few teachers I had who can break down exercises or postures so that you know what you're supposed to be working on and that visualization has helped me tremendously in the strengthening and the flexibility of my body, and I have used some of her teachings to help further my body awareness in other applications. I appreciate that she's encouraging and supportive of progress without having too much intensity. I think she is a great teacher for any level.
