Soleil Lune Yoga Center

Trish Washburn received her 200-hour teacher’s trainings from both Kriya Temple and Alignment Yoga. Her fluid, fun style comes from her own experiences and from being open to different teaching styles and has deemed her style 'a yoga mut'. On her yoga journey, She loves participating in all styles of yoga. Trish is inspired by the deep transformations of body, mind, heart, and soul that yoga can engender for practitioners. Trish's teaching style is fun, creative and non-judgmental with an emphasis on releasing everyday stress and negative attitudes to experience the joy yoga brings. She brings a fun modern edge to her classes by incorporating unique and modern music, dynamic flows and challenging variations to the practice. She is firmly grounded in alignment principles and an avid fan of yoga philosophy: lessons in yoga, perhaps lessons in life. Trish believes that people are drawn to yoga for many different reasons and within each class students are encouraged to tailor their practice to their individual needs. Always open to questions, she is able to tailor classes to students' needs, and encourages acceptance of each moment as a necessary step along the path of well-being. Along with being a wife and mother, Trish enjoys participating in any athletic endeavors, triathlons, paddleboarding and anything that builds upon her life as an ex-professional athlete.Yoga Certifications: Kriya Temple 200hr, Alignment Yoga 200hr, DeafYoga's Visual Yoga Certification: able to accommodate Deaf and HOH students in class through visual cues and limited ASL vocabulary.
