Taylor Recovery Center

Hello, my name is Theresa, and I am a Tech here at Taylor Recovery. My journey as a woman in long-term recovery started on May 20, 2012, due to the consequences of my behaviors. Since that time I have worked diligently to reshape my life and become an asset to society. I am in my 3rd year of my bachelors degree in Psychology with a concentration in substance abuse , and I am working toward becoming a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) and/or Peer Support Specialist. I am currently a certified Recovery Coach, and I am very active in the recovery community. My hope is that everyone who suffers from addiction can one day find the happiness, peace, and serenity that I have found in this recovery process.

I have been a yoga practitioner since 1995 with a foundation in the Kundalini style of yoga and received my 200-RYT certification through Lex Gillan and the Yoga Institute in January of 2013. At this juncture, I am fascinated with all types, forms and disciplines that exist within the vast arena of modern day, western yoga. Generally I like to offer an eclectic class, pulling from various strains to explore breath, postures and meditation.Yoga builds community, is physically challenging, designed to create focus, to activate a present mind and to still the inner voice. These qualities, along with the stamina and flexibility that a daily practice can generate, have enabled me to live a more balanced and mindful life.Yoga has personally transformed me and it is a privilege to have the opportunity to share it with my students. Teaching yoga is, by far, one of the absolute highlights of my day. When I am not teaching, I am working on completing graduate work in art history at the University of Houston. I perfect day for me would involve cooking my son his favorite meal while watching sports on television and snuggling with my two cats. It is the simplest things in life that are often the most rewarding!

I began my yoga journey as part of my physical therapy following a car accident in 2010. I immediately fell in love with the healing powers of yoga, both for the mind and the body. It’s the one place I can draw my focus back into a state of tranquility when the demands of life seem to pull me in every direction. Yoga centers one’s self back into the present moment, allowing you release everything else, while in turn filling that space with peace and awareness. I find the combination of clearing the mind while strengthening the body very invigorating. I was amazed at how much stronger I was with each session! I decided to refocus my life by sharing this experience with others. I received my certification from the Yoga Institute training under Lex Gillan and have since trained under Niki Nira at Yoga Living. I will always be a student of the practice, as I believe one should never stop adding to their learning. I am very grateful for the wisdom my instructors have shared with me and I hope to pass on the love of yoga to others.
