Teacher Details

Terri was introduced to yoga in her teens, but it was 2002 before she stepped into a studio where she met the person who was to become one of her most influential teachers and an important friend, Tina Shiva Dasi Hill. After a two-year immersion in Bikram yoga, Terri began studying other styles and traditions including Kundalini, Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow. She founded Magic City Yoga (currently Birmingham Yoga) in 2005. It was around that time she met her next important teacher, Akasha Ellis.

Terri has practiced and studied with Bryan Kest, Shiva Rea, John Friend, Doug Keller, Laura Tyree and Sean Tebor. The transformative power of yoga and her belief in the wisdom of the postures" keeps her inspired and committed to sharing yoga with the community. Her friends and business partners, LeAnn Nequette and Akasha Ellis, help make this commitment a reality.

Terri served children and young adults as a public high school teacher for over two decades, working to help many discover their unique talents and potential. She continues this work today by encouraging and assisting gifted teachers and healers whose talents are needed by the larger community.

As far as your personal requirements are concerned, the ideal is tohave fewer involvements, fewer obligations, and fewer affairs,business or whatever. However, so far as the interest of the largercommunity is concerned, you must have as many involvements aspossible and as many activities as possible."-- His Holiness theDalai Lama,
