Teshia Maher, Host of Body Rock Flow.
After the tragic loss of her father, Teshia found herself in a very dark, numb, and anxious place.
Then she found yoga, or maybe it found her. Either way, she remains eternally grateful as yoga led Teshia back to herself. It calmed the anxiety, it moved the emotions that felt so ‘stuck’ in her body and best of all, it helped her find her breath again.
Teshia’s immense gratitude for yoga inspired her to become a teacher. She completed the Bikram Yoga teacher training program in Acapulco Mexico in 2008, and a Yin Yoga teacher training in Toronto in 2010. Teshia believes these two yoga practices to be extremely complimentary; one is active while the other emphasizes surrender; the Yin and the Yang.
To expand her own practice, and with the hope of inspiring others to begin a yoga practice, Teshia participated in “Yoga Asana Championships” in both 2009 and 2011. Both of these years, Teshia went on to represent Toronto / Canada as the “Eastern Yoga Champion,” and also competed on an international stage in Los Angeles, California.
In 2011 Teshia joined “The DailyHiit” (formerly known at BodyRock.TV), to be the host for their Yoga programming. Bringing yoga into living rooms across the globe, and thus making the benefits of yoga accessible to everyone, is what Teshia celebrates most about this role. The Daily Hiit removes all barriers from fitness; it's free, you can do the sequences on your own time, and if you have small children and can't leave your home (to get to a gym / attend public yoga classes for example), no problem, again, The Dailyhiit brings fitness / yoga to you!

Teshia embraces her role as a yoga teacher with a selfless passion, and sees great potential and beauty in everyone, that walks into her classes. She celebrates the opportunity to lead her students on their journey of self-discovery, everyone comes into the room with a different history, yet everyone has a common goal: To better themselves. In her own words: “To witness such courage and transformation on a daily basis; this is the priceless gift I receive as a teacher. I feel so blessed!”
In addition to teaching yoga, Teshia is also the founder and Nutritionist of “Living Live Nutritional Consulting.” The merging of her two big passions, yoga and nutritional healing, is keeping Teshia busy in bliss, as she is truly, living her dream.
