Teresa
Benoit Cunningham
While working at Exhale Spa in a sales/buying position, Teresa became inspired
to teach kids yoga. She observed NGY classes and was amazed how Jodi’s
technique was applied to the kids’ yoga.
The cornerstone of Teresa’s work is through meditation, which is also
how she found yoga. She has been practicing yoga for five years, and prior to
that in she studied Kung Fu Martial Arts, including teaching children ages 3
through 10 the basic classes. Teresa has studied closely with Ron Van Cliff,
well-respected choreographer in the film industry for martial arts films.
Teresa has lived in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she studied business management
and communications; she moved to NYC ten years ago. Her favorite teachers include: Shiva Rhea, Twee Merrigan, Nixa de Bellis, Jude
English and Eden Kellner.
Teresa believes that we have a lot more to learn from children and it is her
goal to make a positive effect in their life, as children are so precious!
