About us

Our Way Of Health & Life

The yoga moves in a circular manner touching one point after another until all in us awakens to the necessity of change.

What is Oceanside Beach Yoga

Step out of the studio and onto the beach for a yoga experience like no other! Oceanside Beach Yoga brings the beauty and tranquility of nature into your practice every Saturday morning at the Oceanside Pier. Breathe in sync with the rhythm of the waves, feel the warm sand under your hands, taste the salty ocean mist, and listen to the soothing sounds of the crashing waves. Let the serene beach environment elevate your yoga practice and inspire mindfulness as you flow and meditate under the morning sun.

All levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced yogis. Our experienced instructors offer modifications for every pose, ensuring a safe and enjoyable practice for everyone. Join us and connect with nature in a truly unique way!

Teresa Petersen

Founder & Main Instructor

Teresa Petersen completed her first 200 hr Yoga Alliance Certification and teacher training at the Yoga Studio Carlsbad, with instructor Cindy Gibbons in 2002.  After completing this certification, Teresa taught groups of children at local private schools and assisted with training programs for other local yoga instructors to learn to teach yoga to children. She has taught group and private instruction to children and adults of all ages while raising her two daughters.

Teresa’s personal practice includes practice with Instructors of Ashtanga, Iyengar and Vinyasa along with a strong varied home practice. Her classes are designed for all levels to participate and benefit. Teresa continues to educate herself to better know and live in Body, Mind and Spirit and be able to share what she learns along the way with others.  Teresa’s familiarity with the body reflects in her practice and instruction.

For fun and fitness outside of the yoga studio, Teresa runs, swims, hikes and takes walks on the Beach.

What My Clients Say About Me

Teresa was the absolute BEST!! We had her lead a class at a vacation rental while we were visiting for a Bachelorette party and she was wonderful. She had a quick response time, showed up on time with mats, and led a relaxing yoga class. She also took the time to capture fun photos of us for keepsake. I highly recommend her!! <3
