Terrie’s yoga journey began in 1999, thanks to Grace Morales, one of Charlotte’s first yoga teachers and the founder of Charlotte Yoga. She started practicing Ashtanga in a tiny, heated room while listening to David Swenson on tape, and in 2000 she started teaching Hot 26 classes for Grace at Charlotte Yoga. From that moment on, she knew she had found a new passion… teaching yoga. Terrie has a smashup fitness background including, dance, gymnastics, competitive aerobics, martial arts, and was a personal trainer for 20 years, and taught group exercise for over 30 years.

Terrie shares her love for yoga in this statement. “Yoga is moving meditation to me, and I feel grateful every time I get to guide one person or hundred people through a yoga practice. Yoga is a journey of the heart, mind, and body. There is no end, just new possibilities every time you roll out your mat.”
