About Tess Healy
Tess has been practicing yoga for over 15 years, after first being introduced to Hatha Yoga and Yoga Nidra as a young teenager, initially as a way to manage stress. Since then she has incorporated yoga into her daily life, recognising the ever deepening benefits of yoga, not solely on the physical body, but also its calming and clarifying influence on the mind and emotional body. As an approach, yoga feels like an ever evolving process of discovery, simultaneously expansive and subtle, personal and universal.
Since completing her YTT with The Yoga Social in 2017, Tess been teaching regular classes in yoga studios, gyms and community centres around Melbourne. Personal experiences with chronic fatigue and pain have instilled a deeper curiosity in somatic practices and trauma informed yoga. Which has led to further studies including dedicated Restorative Yoga training with Gena Kenny as well as with Donna Farhi.
With a background in fine arts and creative writing, Tess loves weaving storytelling and play into her sequencing. She has a gentle and thoughtful approach to the sharing of movement, believing that it is our own bodies which have the most to teach us, especially when we are given the opportunity to dwell in moments of quiet and stillness. We are all artists in the way we chose to move our bodies and guide our own lives.
