THERESA ROWLAND, E-RYT, is the director of Studio Yoga and the Studio Yoga Teacher Education Program. A long-time student and assistant of Gabriella Giubilaro and Patricia Walden, she has traveled to India 5 times for extended periods of study at the Iyengar Institute.

Initiated into yoga by her mother, she has been teaching for 42 years and holds several Iyengar Yoga Teacher Certifications. She is grateful for the many voices that have guided her through the years; the voices of Kofi Busia, Lois Steinberg, Stephanie Quirk, Aadil Palkhivala, John Schumacher, Ramanand Patel, Mary Dunn, Joan White, Victor Van Kooten, Dona Holleman, Arthur Kilmurray, Father Joe Pereira, Judith Lasater and so many others. The depth and support and the inspiration of the teachers and students in the yoga community make her life as a yogini fulfilling.
