Teri O’Connor had no interest in athletics as a kid and for most of her adult life, but after inadvertently coming down with what she refers to as “adult onset athleticism” she went on to create a yoga empire (my words, not hers!) in southern New Jersey. 

Teri talks about how yoga helped her become more focused and aware of her body, and how she’s grown as a result of having a regular practice. 

And she shares the wisdom she’s learned along the way including:

• the importance of being authentic
• how we store our “shoulds” in our shoulders 
• how yoga can help manage external distractions like cell phones
• using yoga as an ergonomic treatment
