My Mission...

​

Offer Detroit and beyond a refined yoga and contemplative practice rooted in depth and spiritual development, for thoughtful women who sense they’re ready for more than surface‑level practice. I help them rediscover a steadier way of being, where yoga supports how they live, relate, and make meaning, rather than becoming one more thing to perform or perfect.

​

Hi, I'm Trista!

​
I’m a certified yoga teacher, artist, and mother. My work is rooted in a non-dual timeless teaching that nothing about you is outside of wholeness, even the parts that feel tired, unlovable or unclear.

​

I teach from the school of Anusara, weaving together alignment, breath, and contemplative practice with influences from my own practice (since 2009, teaching since 2019), somatic experiencing work, dreamwork, and ancestral healing. I care deeply about how "practice" feels from the inside, not just how things look from the outside. My teaching is both structured and intuitive, offering clear guidance while making space for your own inner knowing to come forward.

​

Through life's profound blessings and losses, yoga has been a tried and true way back to myself. Not all at once, and certainly not in a straight line, but through steeping in practice I’ve learned how to listen more closely, to trust what I feel, and to reconnect with a sense of inner steadiness and power that I didn’t always know how to find.

​

Now I understand that practice (not just on the mat) is the bedrock and steadfast container by which anything - suffering included - can be turned into opportunities of immeasurable value. This lived experience lives underneath everything I offer.

​

I’m not here to lead you somewhere outside yourself, I’m here to support you in returning to what’s already there, and learning how to be in relationship with it. This is what I think of when hearing the saying "life is a dance". Practicing is really about learning how to daily co-participate with Divine Grace: that source place inside each of us.

​

Is this you?

​

You may be in the right place if you’re craving a yoga practice that is both grounding and meaningful. You want more than a good stretch or a sweaty class, you want a way to reconnect to your body, steady your mind, and return to yourself with more clarity and care.

​

You may...
​

• Care about integrity in how you move, relate, and show up.

​

• Find yourself often holding a lot emotionally/energetically for others.

​

• Be tired of surface-level wellness.

​

• Want intelligent alignment and real depth.

​

• Be seeking steadiness in a noisy world.

​

• Want a practice that supports your whole life, not just your hour on the mat.

​

​

If this sounds like you, welcome!

I'm glad we've found each other.
