 Starting at an early age in gymnastics and swimming, Eliza Pierce, CYT,  began her youth with a strong sense of self, body awareness and was taught to remain calm in the face of challenge.  As a competitive runner during her teens, she naturally practiced meditation in motion.  Her seven years at the University of Colorado at Boulder taught her about the subtleties and power of mental focus and clarity.  This is where she began taking yoga classes in between her regular classes to stay relaxed and healthy during stressful times.  Upon graduating with a degree in Psychology, Eliza began working with special needs children and began a family of her own.  During a pre-natal yoga class, she decided to take her Yogic path to a deeper level through yoga teacher training.  In her 4 years of teaching yoga and living by yogic principles, Eliza has experienced Yoga's healing abilities firsthand as well as with others.  She is currently furthering her studies in Yoga as well as in Ayurveda.

Tai Chi
Pine Point Yoga is pleased to offer this beautiful practice, taught by expert instructor
Theresa King
 Theresa has had over 30 years of experience with this ancient practice.  

Practicing Tai Chi for 33 years with Sensei Brian Ricci of Malden, Ma. and Legendary O’Sensei Richard Kim (Deceased)  of San Francisco, Ca. 

The practice of Tai Chi has assisted me in maintaining better flexibility, excellent bone health, balance, mental clarity and most of all reducing stress, which improves all aspects of our health.  


   "I have been teaching Tai Chi for 20 years and plan on teaching it for the rest of my life".  It can be practiced by any age group, but the greater benefits can be found by a more mature audience.  Tai Chi is practiced in a seated position or standing.  The benefits are numerous.
