“I was immediately struck by Tessa's calming presence and ability to hold the attention of 80+ students. This was a woman that carried immense power, the ingredients of which were love, compassion, vulnerability, and caring. All with a commitment to showing up as a leader for her community.” -Blake Glover, Aus.

I’ve dedicated the past decade to studying, practicing and teaching the tools of awareness. I approach this as a full body, interpersonal project. I’m an E-RYT 500 YACEP certified yoga and mindfulness meditation teacher, with studies ranging from trauma sensitive practice to pranayama, from psychotherapy to sanskrit.

Today, my intention is to translate ancient wisdom traditions into the dialect of our modern world. My passion for philosophy is interwoven with psychology; to find the most potent way to offer guidance for those seeking support, strength, or solace.

The movement practices I teach are informed by vinyasa and yin yoga, physiotherapy, insight meditation, and myofascial release techniques. I blend anatomical knowledge with poetic metaphor, all anchored in breath, to encourage interoceptive enquiry and mindful embodiment.

My Monday night meditation class at Human.Kind offers a consistent anchor for community, my courses there have brought hundreds of students together in shared stillness, and my dharma talks and guided meditations on Insight Timer have been listened to over 10,000 times.
