Margaret Chesson, PT-GCS, RYT, graduated from UNC Chapel Hill in Physical Therapy in 1976.
She has worked most of her PT career in orthopedic or geriatric physical therapy, working
the past ten years at Carol Woods Retirement Center part time where she also teaches senior
gentle yoga classes. Her attraction to yoga was a natural extension of her interest in intersection
of western and eastern thought. She first trained with Ginger Garner, MPT, RYT, ATC, a long time physical
therapist and yoga teacher who specializes in chronic pain management. Most recently she successfully
completed the 220 hours of Yoga Teacher Training with Body, Mind and Spirit of Chapel Hill.
Margaret also credits the nurturing and attentive tutelage from the instructors of Triangle Yoga with the
development of her own personal practice. It is Margaret's desire to share her enthusiasm for the health

to begin the yogic exploration. With the ample aid of props and supports, her classes meet
you where you are and invite you to experience the benefits of merging the therapeutics
