Terri Hargrove 
​RYT-500, Reiki Practitioner, & Sound Healing 

    Terri Hargrove, a Fort Smith resident of more than 15 years,  fulfilled her vision of opening her own community-minded yoga studio on July 1st, 2015 and served the community at that location until closing in December 2021. Terri first fell in love with yoga in 2010, she then began her journey of becoming a certified yoga teacher in January 2012. She attended Sivananda yoga teacher training in the Bahamas where she received her first 200 Hour RYT Yoga Alliance Certification.  In November 2014, Terri completed her second 200 Hour RYT training at Yandara in Baja, Mexico where she later returned for an additional  300 Hour RYT in the December of 2018. Terri saw a need for a deeper understanding of offering yoga to parts of her community where trauma is common. She found the Veteran's Yoga Project and took and additional 15 hours Mindful Yoga for Trauma Recovery in Asheville, NC. in April of 2017. She offers trauma-informed yoga classes and meditation at Gateway and Harbor House which are both local drug and rehab facilities.  During her more than 10 years of instructing, Terri has taught yoga classes all over the community. She believes that yoga should be available for EVERYBODY. 

    She is deeply tied to her community and works to give back in any way she can. She loves that her path allows her the opportunity to help people feel more connected to themselves and their community.

Cyndi Smith
​
​RYT 500, Reiki Practitioner, Chakra Therapeutics Practitioner

My first experience with yoga came in the form of a beautiful soul that I did not know (now mates for life) walking up​ to me while camping at a music festival, placing her hand on my back, looking at me with the most truthful loving eyes and saying, your holding your breath, let me help you breathe.  My life has never been the same since then.  Thank you Terri!

I attend a few yoga classes at the park and Yogaterrium without any type of dedication.  Then I was then blessed again via invitation to attend a weekend of yoga, meditation, Reiki at Mt. Sequoyah  and witness the final weekend for 1st class of students becoming teachers of YTT 200 hour program with Terri and Crystal through Powered by Heart.  I found my “tribe” this weekend & immediately signed up for the next YTT class.  

Since that weekend I completed my YTT program (and my “tribe” grew larger and stronger) with Terri and Crystal through Powered by Heart & registered thru Yoga Alliance as RYT-200.  Along the journey of becoming a yoga teacher I also obtain Reiki Level III & Chakra Therapeutics Practitioner. 

I look forward to seeing you on & off the mat through Yoga, Meditation, Reiki & Chakra sessions.
