Tegwyn Dougherty

Yoga instructor with Bikram Yoga San Antonio

Tegwyn spent most of her adult life in Colorado. After graduating from college, Tegwyn worked in the ski industry in Aspen for a number of years, traveling and promoting skiing both domestically and internationally.   Eventually she grew tired of the intense travel and made a career change to the hospitality industry. Here, Tegwyn worked for the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company and Starwood with St. Regis brand hotels as a senior sales manager.

At the age of 49, unable to run, bike or move without pain, Tegwyn began practicing Bikram Yoga. Diagnosed with degenerative disk disease, a ruptured L4 and L5 disk and an injured C5 and C6 vertebrae, Bikram Yoga was the only exercise that allowed Tegwyn to move and thrive. After practicing a couple of years, she decided to retire from the corporate world in 2008 and to Bikram Yoga Teacher Training. Tegwyn has now been teaching for 1 year and practicing for 4 years.
