I used to be one of those people who took advantage of the 30-day introductory deal that most yoga studios offer, and hopped around a lot from class to class and studio to studio. That is, until I found the Yoga Sanctuary on Wood Street - specifically Trisha's Core Flow classes.

I loved Trisha and her style of instructing immediately. She is truly the best instructor I've come across, and I have been attending her classes for many years now. Trisha is extremely friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. Her personality is very down-to-earth and authentic, and she seems to somehow remember all of her students and little details about them, which really makes everyone feel valued and welcome, and helps to create a sense of community and familiarity with her and her fellow students.

What I like about Trisha's practice is that she is extremely knowledgeable about the body - a skill which informs all of her classes. Her practice is very body-conscious, and she always explains the reasoning behind certain types of poses and movements, which I find extremely helpful. She also always offers variations on different poses and movements for different types of conditions, body types, and moods, and offers a judgment-free space to help her students explore their bodies and practices in order to make it a more personalized experience. For me, personally, Trisha's classes and before/after-class conversations where she happily gave advice helped me overcome a whole host of pelvic issues I had been having after a major surgery.

I was so thrilled to hear that Trisha was offering online classes, as I have been missing her classes ever since the lockdown happened. Even though the classes are no longer in person, Trisha still makes them feel special, and her classes have really helped add some much-needed structure and stability in this otherwise chaotic time
