Hello! My name is Kimberly Tessmer
“I have learned through the practice of yoga, that it does not change your personality— it gives you a much greater perspective to witness weather you are reacting or responding to situations”
I am an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) with a 200 hour Yoga Certification. I am a Yoga Alliance Certified Educational Provider (YACEP). I became a yoga instructor in 2015 but have been a certified fitness instructor for over 10 years.
Yoga became a passion when I moved to Kalamazoo in 2014 and decided to become an instructor. My dream is to share my passion with as many people as I can. Yoga has been a life-changing practice for me, it has given me the knowledge and tools to make it through difficult times, physically, mentally & emotionally. And the beauty of this practice is the fact that I continue to learn, absorb and evolve.
Yoga is definitely NOT just about being able to touch your toes! I am excited to focus my attention and share the gifts I have learned with the grossly underserved black & brown community. I have partnered with The Urban Zone in Kalamazoo to make yoga more accessible within the organizational reach, teaching yoga to high schoolers & the community with all kinds of bodies, abilities, and levels. I am Safe Sport trained & certified to work with kids and teens.
I look forward to teaching classes and hosting workshops on empowerment, mindfulness, and self-awareness through the practice of yoga.
