Trish and Kate lead with passion and respect for the practice of yoga. The investment of my time and financial resources is well worth both the insight I'm gaining and the time in their presence. I am confident that I will walk away from this teacher training with a better understanding of the true essence of yoga and more respect for my body,mind, and spirit. I am grateful for this opportunity.
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.
