“The gentle shifts that occur on your yoga mat have the power to transform your life in the outside world.”

Decades of Dedicated Yoga Practice & Lineage

Dennis Teston has been practicing yoga and meditation since 1996. Over nearly three decades of dedicated study, his approach to yoga and mindfulness has been shaped and inspired by world-renowned masters, including Dharma Mittra, Cyndi Lee, Bryan Kest, and Michael Stone.

In 2009, Dennis earned his foundational yoga teacher certification from Sankalpah Yoga under the direct mentorship of Isaac Peña, Jude English, and Mary Dana Abbott. This rigorous training instilled a core focus on intelligent sequencing, biomechanics, and the seamless integration of classical yogic philosophy.

Mindful Yoga Teaching Philosophy

Dennis leads challenging, fun, and accessible yoga classes designed to meet students where they are. Every session incorporates:

  • Intelligent Sequencing: Thoughtfully structured flows built for safe physical progression and injury prevention.
  • Hands-On Adjustments: Direct, expert alignment support to deepen your practice safely.
  • Posture Modifications: Tailored variations ensuring every student—from beginner to advanced—feels successful and empowered.

Ultimately, Dennis’s classes are designed to cultivate fearlessness, physical openness, and mental clarity, leaving you with an open body, clear mind, and grounded spirit.

Trauma-Informed Mindfulness & Community Impact

Beyond studio classes, Dennis served for several years as an instructor with The Lineage Project, delivering trauma-sensitive mindfulness and yoga practices to young people (ages 11–24) navigating complex life challenges.

Through this impactful community work, Dennis witnessed firsthand the transformative power of mindfulness—a grounding experience that continues to inform his empathetic, inclusive approach to teaching today.
