Terrie de la Garza  |  Principle Instructor

Terrie is an RYT-certified yoga instructor, as well as a group fitness instructor teaching at several gyms and small studios throughout the Austin area. CorePower and Baptiste trained, Terrie has been teaching yoga since 2014 but involved in group fitness for 8 years.

Her classes focus on the breath guiding the practice, and encouraging the mind/body connection. Lighthearted in spirit, Terrie teaches her classes from the heart, often reminding her students their bodies are their best teachers, and she just their guide.  

Kelsey Nunez  |  Principle ​Instructor

​Kelsey loves the flow of yoga and how it corresponds with the ebb and flow of life, a series of movements with their differing complexity and how we respond to them based on listening to our inner guide. Showing up on her mat is often the highlight of her day, combining movement with breath with alignment. She has experience teaching all levels of yoga. Although her classes are not for the faint of heart, she can tailor the practice to meet the needs of each student. Kelsey's classes allow individuals to work towards building strength as well as cultivating flexibility and openness while also finding peace and calm while you ride the breath.  She encourages her students to explore their edge while connecting deeply with their inner knowing, but she also believes playfulness and having fun is part of the process. Her classes are structured to make you leave feeling stronger, calmer, more expansive and kinder.

Carissa Chiu  |  Instructor

​Originally from Arizona, Carissa first started practicing yoga in her college dorm room with yoga DVDs. While yoga was initially a casual hobby, she eventually found yoga was more than just a physical practice - it was a way to help build strength, relax her mind, and self-improve from the inside out. Through yoga Carissa has gained a better understanding of herself, and she loves how she can learn something new every time she comes to her mat. As a teacher she strives to empower and inspire her students, and help them discover what yoga can do for them.
