Teresa Callison/Centerlight Yoga

Teresa Callison holds a Master’s degree in psychology, an Integrated Movement therapist certification and is a registered yoga instructor. She has recently moved here from Seattle, where she taught at The Samarya Center, a nationally recognized yoga research and education center, dedicated to providing yoga and yoga therapy to people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. Teresa has worked extensively with individuals of many different ages and with a variety of life challenges. Ingrained in her teaching are the three overarching philosophies of Integrated Movement Therapy: The student is already perfect and whole, the student and teacher are both unlimited in their abilities to heal and that no part of the body, mind or spirit works alone.

As a long time runner, vigorous asana practitioner and busy mom of two, Teresa has come to realize the incredible benefits of a gentle and yin yoga practice. To learn to move slowly and deliberately with your breath, to stretch the deep connective tissue in the body and to give yourself permission to be exactly where you are at this moment is both a gift, as well as a powerful  journey of self-discovery. Teresa believes in making yoga accessible to everyone regardless of age, ability or economic status and provides students a safe, comfortable environment in which to practice. Teresa is an energetic, compassionate therapist/teacher who brings a sense of fun and warmth to those with whom she works.
