TERI ALMQUIST
Transformation
And Healing Through Bikram Yoga
Reclaim your flexibility and strength,
heal your body, and start living your best life.
No matter your body, your age, or your story — there's a place for you on this mat.
Teri Almquist teaches yoga as more than movement. It's a way to build presence, resilience, and joy that radiates far beyond the hot room — into the rest of your life. She knows this firsthand: she healed a decade-long spinal injury through Bikram practice, and she's spent her life since proving that yoga truly is for everyone.
In her classes and retreats, you won't just move your body — you'll learn something about yourself that stays with you long after you leave the mat.
She teaches without judgment, with love at the center of everything.
Whether it's your first class or your thousandth, Teri will meet you exactly where you are and help you discover how far you can go.
Find balance, strength, and complete restoration — no matter where you're starting from.

For Teri, the yoga room is a sanctuary for transformation — where every drop of sweat is a purposeful step toward wellness.

Student Stories
I had a back injury from a fall at the end of January and a kyphoplasty was done on my thoracic spine nineteen days ago. I love hot yoga and was anxious to get back on my mat but not sure of how much I could do. I spoke with Teri and she took the time in a private lesson to go through each posture with me, giving me personalized modifications and tools. With her help and knowledge I could start on my road to recovery without doing too much too soon or injuring myself. This gave me the confidence to step back in to the hot room after this very painful back injury and I feel much better already after just a couple of classes. I am so grateful to have found this studio with such a supportive staff and where everyone is welcomed and encouraged. Hot yoga heals!

Your transformation is next
Teri has a remarkable ability to recognise potential in teachers and help them bring out their best. Her mentoring is insightful, practical, and incredibly supportive.
Working with Teri helped me move from simply reciting the dialogue to truly understanding how to teach. She helped me connect the words with what is happening in students’ bodies and this enabled me to help students more effectively. That shift not only strengthened my confidence as a teacher but also improved the experience for the students in class. Her guidance continues to influence the way I approach teaching.
