MEET THERESA
Founder of Blue Topaz Yoga
Since 2016, I've been instructing Pilates, holding certifications in Polestar Pilates and Balance Body. Additionally, I've been teaching Yoga since 2021.
In December 2022, I relocated to Nashville from Illinois, where I initially began my fitness journey. Following my retirement from a demanding 25-year career, I embarked on a path of self-discovery and inner peace. Despite maintaining a strict fitness regimen and mindful diet during my career, I grappled with persistent stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Seeking more profound solutions, I delved into holistic well-being in May 2022, integrating Yoga and Pilates into my routine. These practices became the foundation of my daily life, fostering physical health and inner balance.
The transformation was profound, leading me to share my newfound sense of peace and balance with others. With years of experience teaching Pilates and Yoga, I found fulfillment in guiding others on their paths to well-being. I envisioned more than a fitness studio; I longed to create a space radiating tranquility, welcoming individuals as part of a harmonious family.
“In my quest for a name, I found inspiration in my son's birthstone, the Blue Topaz. This gemstone carries the essence of tranquility and balance, much like the journey I had embarked upon.”
To make it even more personal, I incorporated a silhouette of my niece into the gem's design, a poignant reminder of the importance of family bonds.
Blue Topaz Yoga, thus, became a sanctuary where Zen meets family and where I continue to embrace a life of purpose and serenity.
