I would agree with the statement that this studio is perfect for the serious yoga student. Yoga studios are much more commonplace nowadays, but not all focus so intently on the energetic elements. Yoga at SLYC is far more than simply stretching; each class honors the body/mind/spirit connection and is rooted in the energetic value of human movement. I love the variation, nothing is forgotten or left behind as we practice through the week. While each instructor brings their own energy, there is cohesion throughout their intructions. I always feel at home, cared for, supported, and restored by my practice with their expert leadership. Namaste
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.
