      Teresa Babyak says, “Yoga has changed my life! Yoga has not only helped me increase strength and flexibility, but it also has helped me gain a level of peace and centeredness in an otherwise stressful life, which includes managing a large Oncology practice for many years now.”
     In the past, I have joined gyms and bought exercise equipment and yet, always found an excuse why I couldn't exercise. Yoga, however, is the only thing that I never make excuses for.”   Teresa also teaches yoga at the hospital to the delight of her collegues.
      Yoga also gives her lots of energy for her other part-time business - baking treats for order - ask her about Teresa’s Treats.
