About Me
TESSA VALLE
RYT 200, Yin Certified
I took my first yoga class in 2008 as a way to ease back into training after a cycling accident where I lost my 4 front teeth, broke my chin, and both sides of my jaw. Though my yoga journey started because of what it offered my physical body, it was also an instrumental component in my grief recovery when I lost 3 family members in 18-months.
Practicing Restorative Yoga under the guidance of Tessa is like stepping into a peaceful sanctuary of deep relaxation. She has a gentle vibe, a soothing tone, and a gift for poetic cueing. Tessa is a creative and skilled practitioner who is generous with her time and knowledge making you feel safe and supported. You will leave her class feeling at peace, restored, and energized to tackle whatever comes next.

Testimonials
I have had the great privilege of witnessing Tessa’s journey from a yoga practitioner into a creative and compassionate yoga teacher. Tessa’s classes are an “experience.” Her ability to customize a class to meet each individual's need and ability is a true gift which allows her students to feel secure, supported, and nurtured. Tessa lives yoga and realizes that the practice is not limited to the mat. Through her introspective, guided journaling and intention setting workshops, Tessa directs participants inward towards their journey to mindfulness and a deeper understanding of themselves.

I loved being a part of Tessa's Guided Journaling Journey session. First of all, I walked into this not knowing what to expect at all.I was a little shy at first but once I heard the other ladies sharing, I started to feel much more comfortable since I'm not much of a writer. There's something very emotional about seeing your words written on paper that brought out feelings I've held onto for such a long time. Once I chose to share my journal entry, I already felt the shakiness in my voice and I knew I was going to cry. I immediately felt the healing process slowly starting to form inside of my heart. I just thought that maybe my story could possibly help someone going through the same insecurities I was feeling at that very moment. But most of all, joining this session encouraged me to want to write in my journal again.
Thank you Tessa for this wonderful experience. It's changed me for the better!
