About this Retreat
Your Guides
Trina
Fourteen years ago, I accidentally fell in love with Yoga. I’ve always been extremely active, juggling everything from ultra-running to surfing, netball to rock climbing, and whilst yoga began as just ‘another sport’, it quickly became so much more.
Our breath is our life force, and in Yoga and Meditation, it is the magical rhythm that moves our body and mind. I believe that what we learn on the mat—focus, introspection, opening our heart, awareness, stillness, and challenge—we take with us into the world.
My classes are focused on this connection between movement and breath, and I encourage my students to be authentic and intuitive in their practice.
My Vinyasa/ Rocket sequences are creative, strong, and playful, and the balancing practices of Slow Flow, Restorative, and Yin are juicy and introspective.
In a time like this, it is a gift to be able to share yoga online and move and breathe with people all over the world.
