About Tehroma

Tehroma has lived full time in Los Barriles since 1994, having lived here for two years previously for HS creating life long friendships with local families. Tehroma has lived and traveled through Mainland Mexico and was born in Oregon, USA.

​

For years, Tehroma wore many  hats in the construction industry, starting in 1994, then Designing and Building Custom Homes since 2003. Her background in Architecture provides the backbone for Plaza Buenos Aires – a community and family oriented space - also home for Sukhasana Studio, the first Yoga, Meditation & Fitness studio to open in Los Barriles, BCS, Mexico. She began practicing yoga in 2007 and it was love at first crescent lunge, feeling deeply at home in her own heart, body, mind and soul in the practice. She walked up to her teacher after class and shared that practice felt like prayer, a connection with the divine.

​

Regular attendance in community classes, trainings and devotion to a strong personal practice resulted in sharing this ancient art & science with others; she has been teaching since 2015. Among the continuing education she has undergone as a lifelong student, Tehroma completed her first 200 hours of YTT at Yandara Yoga Institute in Todos Santos, specialized in Restorative-Therapeutic Yoga through advanced YTT  training at Yoghar Estudio in La Paz and in January of 2023 graduated from a two year long Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.

​

Tehroma retired from the world of Architecture in 2022 to dedicate her work life to the ancient Healing Arts of Thai Massage & Reiki, as well as, teach Mindfulness Meditation and Yoga.

She loves the outdoors and recently moved with her husband and small dog to their Cob Casita empty-nest cozily nestled into a beautiful desert hillside. Off grid and completely surrounded by nature with no neighbors in site and a bumpy three-mile dirt road drive from the nearest highway, she feels completely and utterly at home. It is a privilege to live closely connected to the natural world, to listen deeply to the sounds of silence, birds and breezes; to see the horizon in the distance, mountains surrounding, watch the desert transform with little drops of rain and notice the changes in the season as each day the sun rises a little further south. Tapping into this deep quiet on a regular basis is foundational for her mindfulness practice, an ongoing awakening of the senses and deepening in embodied presence.

Tehroma believes wholeheartedly in the power of healing, wholeness and feeling at home in the heart, body, mind and soul; a mindful and continual integration of all the parts that make one whole: Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Inclusion on an individual level, community and global level.

Yoga for Beginners & 55+

Tuesdays & Fridays 9:30am

If you are new to yoga and mindfulness or have been away from the mat for a while, this class provides a great setting to begin or begin again. The first 10 minutes of class include a guided Mindfulness Meditation, an inspiring reading, time for guided contemplation, inquiry or simply time to settle in with the breath and deepen arrival with the intention of being as present as possible throughout our class. Students are invited to settle into a comfortable position for this part of class. Some people lay down, others extend their legs up the wall, some sit on a cushion. Students do not have to sit on the floor cross legged for meditation - I offer options. For the next 30-40 minutes, expect to be led through a variety of postures, movement, stretching, lengthening, balancing. Gentle yet engaging and challenging. After the turn of the hour, generally, we transition to more relaxing and supported poses that offer the body, mind, and spirit a chance to stretch more passively. We generally start on the floor and transition to standing once during a class for some standing postures and then back to the floor again. This isn't an "up-down-up-down" class. Recognizing that moving from floor to standing can be difficult for some, I provide methods for transitioning from floor to vertical -- this is an important skill to maintain through life. And, sometimes we focus on all floor postures for a class. The final 7-10 minutes are dedicated to deep relaxation for integration of the day's practice. My classes are heart centered, include soft background music and inspiring reading during relaxation.
