Yoga
“Yoga” in the west means physical exercise and or movement called “asana”. Traditionally however, Yoga means ‘the process of merging the self’. That means, any practice that merges the self is Yoga. For asana types of Yoga, we offer Ashtanga, Rocket, Bheemashakti, Śakti Kriya, Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin.
Wellness
There are many modalities for wellness. At Tejas we focus only on the methods originating from the Vedas or Upanishads text, mainly from the system of Ayurveda. In addition to meditation and pranayama we offer a variety of Ayurvedic treatments and healing programs for bringing the body/mind/spirit into harmony which can include specialized detoxification.
Business
Looking for wellness instruction, programs or experiences for yourself or team? We have experience coaching and teaching individuals and small teams in both private and public sectors offering wellness and mindfulness methods. Our speciality is recovering from and preventing burnout, as well as improving team performance and cohesion. Services are available for off-site and on-site.
Is Tejas trauma informed?
Unfortunately, most people live with some form of trauma, it’s just the landscape we live in. Our studio is trauma informed as several of our teachers, and our owners, are trained in various methods to support those having trauma related symptoms. Although not unique, these services are necessary in our world today. We specifically offer free Yoga classes for veterans, and first responders through the Veterans Yoga Project. We are also available to create more services to other communities that can benefit from these teachings.
Delivering Ancient Wisdom…
..through Yoga instruction and wellness services. Our studio respects and practices the wisdom found in the Vedas and Upanishads. These texts written hundreds and thousands of years ago are just as relevant today as ever. It’s possible they were written for our time now! We strive to bring these teachings to our studio in subtle ways while still offering the style of classes people are familiar with and love.

Yoga
Our Yoga classes range from traditional and spiritual to fun and flowing. The activity and skill of these classes also range from intense to mild and advanced to beginner friendly. Our studio is representative of the community which is active and skilled, but that isn’t necessarily the focus. All are welcome to join us no matter where you are on your Yoga journey.
Wellness
Did you know there are two categories of meditation? There’s passive and active. Passive is where you set aside time and do nothing else but meditate, which is the most common. But in active meditation the practitioner has developed a level of skill and commitment to always be in meditation, even while doing everyday tasks. It’s said that the gap between inhale and exhale is an opportunity to experience the divine, that’s 21,700 times a day! Just having constant awareness of your breath is a meditation. There are many other ways too! At Tejas we teach an integrative approach to wellness.
Business
It’s helpful to use an analogy of automobiles when talking about our approach. Mercedes Benz is one of the oldest and biggest carmakers. In some ways they wrote the book on cars. If you have a Mercedes Benz car, would you use parts from a Ford dealership? Read a Honda manual on Mercedes performance? No you wouldn’t. That is our position on wellness utilizing methods directly from Ayurveda, which is customized and a complete health and wellness based science.
About The Owners
Zebulon (Zeb) and Sita Severson have been together for 10 years. Both experienced trauma in their life and spent their 20’s and 30’s learning and growing. Zeb is an Army veteran with multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. After excelling as a contractor in RF communications, he set out to walk a more fulfilling path. He discovered Yoga and the Vedic life through Ayurveda. He immediately gravitated towards this systematic approach because of how it applies to all aspects of life whether it is physical health, behavioral, spiritual aspiration, communication, or leadership.
