About Us: Thea at updowndog108.com 562-433-4295

 

I am a yoga teacher, intuitive/energy healer and massage therapist. I have a unique background as an artist and designer: while working in the corporate world for many years I found yoga, or some may say yoga found me. That was it; it was all about the yoga! I have always practiced and sought after alternative methods of health and healing and this has lead me to where I am today. Teaching, practicing, learning and sharing.

I have a down-to-earth style, infused with strength and grace. After suffering many physical injuries, surviving cancer and the roller coaster of life, always coming back to yoga, 'It's always comes back to yoga'. My personal and professional practice has evolved to embrace, not only the physical benefits of asana, but also the emotional and spiritual.

My lifestyle is combining holistic health; massage therapy, art and yoga. I believe in an integrated system of wellness that uses massage, breathing techniques, postures, meditation and nutrition to bring about total health.

I am registered with Yoga Alliance and received my first certification in 2004 through Cloud Nine Teacher Training Program. I did my yoga internship at California State University Fullerton. Since then I have been taking various teacher training's and the most recent in December of 2008 was a five-day intensive with Ana Forrest. I have received my 500-hour certification from Cloud Nine Yoga and am currently wrapping up my 1000 hour RYT (registered yoga teacher). I am also currently working on national certification for massage therapy.

I am able to communicate with grace, humor and genuine joy, teaching from the heart with a smile. I hold a safe space for my students to let go and open their hearts, to feel joy and love and to take some of that with them and then out to the world. My classes are challenging and you will work up a sweat, crack a smile, laugh and feel joy.

RYT (registered yoga teacher): I am available to teach private, small or large classes.

CMT (certified massage therapist): Massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your health care regimen. It is therapeutic, rejuvenating, pampering, a luxurious treat, stress relief, or pain management. I offer an integrated system of wellness that uses massage, deep tissue, yoga, aromatherapy & Riki ("healing energy" through the palms).
