ABOUT ME
Trisha embarked on her transformative journey with School Yoga Institute in 2014, completing her 200-hour Mystical Yoga Teacher Training. This initial step marked the beginning of a profound exploration that took her to Peru, where she sought healing for an injury sustained in a sports-related accident and delved deeper into her spiritual practice. Over the past decade, Trisha has come full circle, now dedicating her expertise to serving our community while traveling the globe.
Trisha’s expertise extends beyond yoga into the corporate sector, where she has accumulated significant experience in the tourism industry and with leading hotels and ski resorts in North America. This diverse background has honed her skills and fueled her dedication to positive leadership and integrating wellness and mindfulness into various settings.
Trisha’s commitment to personal and professional development is reflected in her continued education. She recently completed a 200-hour Kundalini and Meditation YTT and holds a Yin YTT certification from Bernie Clark. Additionally, she is certified in Trauma-Informed Yoga. Her pursuit of knowledge and growth remains a priority, with ongoing plans to engage in further yoga teacher training programs.
Certified by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, Trisha advocates for self-love, compassion, and inclusivity in all her endeavors. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys hiking and skiing, traveling with SYI, cooking, practicing asana, and strumming the guitar.
