ABOUT TRISH :

I am 38 years old and live in Bedfordshire with my 2 children Shane aged 13 and Rebecca aged 9. I was born with dislocated hips and after 3 operations was facing the possibility of having hip replacements when about 6 years ago I stumbled upon my first yoga class which was to alter the course of my life. I discovered that the yoga postures were increasing my mobility by keeping the joints moving.

My thoughts were becoming more positive and I was more likely to say 'I can' rather than 'I can't'. My mind and body were starting to work together and the results were amazing to say the least. I decided to train to become a yoga teacher and completed my teacher training at the Yoga for Health Foundation, near Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. Needless to say I have never looked back and have never felt better.

I will always be restricted in my movements because of my hips and therefore cannot always attain perfect postures. But Yoga has taught me that it is the effort and the journey into the posture that is more important than the end result and it is this philosophy that I hope to bring across in my teaching.

I currently hold classes in my local area for adults, teenagers and children. I am especially enjoying working with children and would like to take my teaching into schools as I believe that Yoga can be of great benefit to children, teaching them about their bodies, their minds and how to achieve their maximum potential out of life.
