Hi I am Teresa founder of the Yoga Retreat on Koh Phangan, a beautiful island in Thailand.
I teach both courses at The Yoga Retreat. My background is in dance and I trained at The Laban Centre of Movement and Dance in London, UK, for 3 years and graduated in 1990 with a Diploma in Dance Theatre which included ballet, contemporary, choreography, creative movement, Pilates and the Alexander technique. After graduating I toured many countries over a ten year period with various international dance companies as a professional dancer. Additionally during that time I would practice various forms of yoga, and natural healing techniques, fulfilling my love of travel, dance movement and knowledge of yoga. In the year 2000 I made a conscious choice to undertake a 2 year course in Traditional Hatha Yoga with the 'The British School of Yoga' to gain my teaching diploma. While completing my yoga training, I was working as a free-lance Pilates and Alexander technique instructor at various venues in my home town Colchester, England. I continued to teach through out my pregnancy and on the 18.01.2001 our son Jess was born. We lived between England and Thailand while The Yoga Retreat was being built, then in January 2004 we moved full-time to The Yoga Retreat, Koh Phangan, Thailand.

My teaching style is calm and down to earth, combining all elements and aspects of yoga from gentle to challenging, adapting them to suit the ability and needs of the student. The purpose of teaching and yoga practice is to be in touch with our innermost being and to apply it in our everyday life.

Our courses and techniques aim to develop the individual.
