Theresa is a biomechanical Goddess, no two ways about it. You will learn amazing things about your body. She?s been practicing for years upon years, and it shows. Her knowledge and understanding of how the body moves, why it does that, what it will do if you do something else, etc is fantastic. One of the things I appreciated the most about her is that a person might easily feel overwhelmed or ?in over their head? with someone so well practiced and steeped in this practice for so long? but that?s not the way it is at all. Present a different way to practice within a pose, and she?ll mull it over? she?ll pay that idea respect every time. Only if she can think of a reason it?s unhealthy or that you might hurt yourself, would working that different way within that pose be ?wrong?. She?s a purist only where health and integrity are concerned. Everything else is just an organic idea deserving attention and I love the group discussions (tangents, really) we get into. I always feel like she respects my thoughts on matters; though she?s got a lifetime of experience on me I never once feel like she is looking down on me.
