Tess Lane (she/her) teaches Morning Yoga on Fridays and Saturday morning Beginning Ballet. Tess is originally from Redondo Beach and is in her fourth season dancing for Smuin Ballet. She completed her 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in summer of 2021 and is currently working on her next level of certification. Both her yoga and ballet classes aim to explore movement with a balanced and anatomical approach, while having fun and working up a sweat! Tess finds both dance and yoga to be satisfying, investigative, and meditative practices, and she strives to create an environment where her students feel the same.
Favorite SF spot: Sutro Heights Park
Best advice a teacher ever gave you: “Even a 1º shift can take you to an entirely different destination.”
Fun fact: Tess is also an avid seamstress! She sews many of her own clothes, including her dance wear!
