About tRISH
After 2020, tRISH joined Boston Yoga Union and became committed to her yoga practice. Encouraged to explore the desire to teach, she completed YTT in 2023 at BYU. The feeling of fulfillment tRICIA receives from the practice is spread through her excitement in facilitating the enriching parts of yoga's physical and thoughtful practices of movement and breath work. She became a teacher to motivate people to nurture their own vessel taking all the time needed for themselves. It serves as a mindful reminder that “I’m not there anymore, I’m here now!”. Her teaching style is purpose-driven and she prioritizes self care. In her classes, tRISH will provide an edgy, feel good class and offer hands on adjustments and words of encouragement to encourage you to modify and only take what you need. When practicing with tRICIA, you will find a safe and accepting space filled with the joy of life.
The Class:
The BIPOC Yoga Collective is an accessible, all-levels practice for those who identify as BIPOC. This monthly workshop style class intends to create a safe and familiar space to expose new and seasoned yogis to Boston’s BIPOC instructors, local community of practitioners, and a diversifying studio space. Classes will rotate between different instructors who will take care to ensure students at all levels are able to follow along and create a container that may leave them feeling stronger, empowered, or rested depending on the workshop design.
Purpose:
To create a shared space where Black, Indigenous, and People of Color may be in community with others who share a deep understanding of their marginalization, because of their unspoken shared experience. The intent is to create a sense of safety in one’s authenticity without the gaze of well-meaning and curious onlookers or “saviors”.
We hope to create an automatic increase of baseline trust simply by holding space for this experience, but continuing to build upon it by leveraging ongoing feedback and representation from the varied perspectives, racial groups and levels of privilege within the broader BIPOC identity group.
Our goal is to have attendees engage in the practice of yoga without the reminders of negatively racialized lived experiences within their racial identities, and create solidarity among us.
