Café Blossom

Yogablossom, developed by Mikelle Terson, is a system of one-to one yoga instruction designed to help you meet your individual needs and potentials so that you can "blossom" into your fully realized self.

Mikelle's love of art has led her to create her jewelry line and her background in science (she had to do alot of studying) has lent itself to develop products and methods to help teachers and students to learn aspects of yoga more easily and hopefully to have a little fun in the process. Just as yoga is a dynamic and always growing and evolving science with strong and ancient roots, YogaBlossom's intention is to continue to unfold it's petals to better serve the yoga community.

She has taught at the Equinox, Chelsea Piers and Reebok clubs in NY. She assisted Bikram Choudhury in his first visit to Kripalu and has taught the residents there. For many years, she has worked with the Ross School, a progressive private school in East Hampton, and has had the opportunity to develop a morning wellness program of yoga with fellow teacher Thomas Michael Amelio. They taught 400 students and teachers together, ages 9 thru 60 at once. It was quite a rich experience! In 1995, she began offering Yoga Retreats in St. Barts. She travels extensively with her private clients throughout the world.

With a degree in Biology. She was also a competitive gymnast for the University of Florida. It was in Florida, where she meet her first teacher, Richard Michael Odom and her love of yoga began. She has studied with many teachers throughout the years, some of whom include Bikram, Swami Bua, Oonasia, Rod Stryker, John Friend, Ross Rayburn, and Panditji Rajmani Tiguinait of the Himalayan Institute.

I have found that yoga polishes the stone, chipping away fear, doubt, illusion, bad habits, so we can shine as the jewels that we truly are. Yoga has been such a gift to me in my life. It is an honor and a joy to be able to share it with others.

I have been studying with Mikelle for a year and a half. The sessions have been wonderful, non-stressful yet challenging. My body is stronger, more stretched, relaxed and my ability to concentrate has greatly improved. Yoga gives me time for myself, a deeper self. Passing this experience on to people I care for has been a great source of pleasure.
