Regina Green
Hello my name is Regina Terry-Green Ph.D., LSW., RYT-500. I am originally from Roxbury and I have been working as a special education guidance advisor for over 27 years within Boston Public Schools. I began teaching trauma sensitive yoga to my students in 2013 to introduce them to tools that may be helpful towards them regulating their emotions. In 2018 I purposely sought a YTT that would provide me with additional skills and tools to teach yoga as a vehicle for social emotional learning to students who have been impacted by trauma. With this new knowledge, I was able to enhance my trauma informed trauma sensitive teaching skills as well as share the gift of yoga to the school faculty as part of a wellness program for educators who may be feeling signs of burnout.
Outside of my work, I volunteer with “ Hands to heart center - yoga for the people” in order to offer the healing practice of yoga to people in Boston and surrounding communities who may otherwise not have access to the practice. As for me, I always knew yoga was good for the body, mind and soul but I was always focused on providing others with the practice. However, Yoga entered my life after suffering a life threatening illness which caused me to reevaluate my own personal practice. This may sound cliche but ….Yoga truly saved my life.
In 2020 I decided to earn my 300-hour certification from Down Under School of Yoga, where I studied alignment and sequencing under Natasha Rizapolous and meditation under Fez Aswat's leadership.
I love vinyasa flow and meditation. My yoga practice is fun yet relaxing. It brings peace to my body, mind, and soul and I hope the practice will have a lasting effect on you
