About Teckmon

Engineer

Teckmon graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (I.E.) from Georgia Tech in 2013. She joined Cornell University Investment Office and worked as a Quantitative Investment analyst for 2 years in Ithaca, NY prior moving back to Atlanta, GA. Currently, She is working in the business intelligence and data analytics fields. Her favorite programming languages are SQL and Python, and her favorite software are Tableau, RedGate, Google Analytics, and Git.

Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200)

Teckmon has been practicing yoga for eight years and received her 200-hour Yoga Certification with Yoga Alliance from YogaWorks in Atlanta under Becky Nickerson in Spring 2018. Vinyasa flow is foundational to Teckmon’s yoga practice as she combines awareness of breath and movement while focusing on proper body alignment. She believes yoga is a wellness process that nourishes the body, mind, and soul. She teaches yoga is a way to connect and help people who once struggled like her and she hopes to make impact on their lifestyle.

Teckmon strives to make yoga accessible to people of all ages and skill levels through her creative sequences. She applies the bus-stop method to break down challenging poses into 3 bus stops and allow students to make decisions where to go based on how they feel that day. Breathing and meditation did not come at ease for Teckmon. Her breath was once choppy and short, and her muscles are always tight and tense. She enjoys working with students to guide them with some breathing exercises. Currently, she studies and practices meditation. Her goal is to add meditation in her teaching.

Weightlifter

Teckmon loves weightlifting. She had her first coaching lesson at Coffee Gym in May 2016, and she was hooked! In the beginning, there are some up and down while learning the technique and dialing in with her nutrition. Now, she trains consistently to stay balanced mentally and physically. Her goal is to qualify and compete in American Open in 2019/2020. You can find her weightlifting journey @teckmonster.

Everyday Life

She finds creativity through engaging and volunteering in the local community, she sharpens her writing and coding skills through sharing content in Pick Up Strength. She builds this website with Jekyll and deploys blog posts via Terminal command line. ;) If you haven’t heard from her, she is probably backpacking in the wilderness where there is no cellular access. Her latest trip was backpacking in the Skoki Loop in Banff, Alberta.

Pick Up Strength

Teckmon will call herself a weird hummingbird. She loves to explore every flowers and tree, her favorite is Tea Olive and a field of wildflowers. In Pick Up Strength, this place will fill with creativity, non-judgment, positivity, and a healthy dose of encouragement and curiosity from everything she gathers.
