Trish Pietrzak, M.Ed., E-RYT & Studio Owner

Inspired when drawing inner wisdom from an open heart.

Trish, who has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and instructing yoga for 10 years, brings a unique and original style to her classes. Trish approaches yoga in a playful manner, seeking to explore the body’s potential while simultaneously developing a calm and steady awareness that promotes personal growth. Combining a variety of yoga styles she is able to create an environment which harmoniously connects breath, alignment and asanas to the beginning student, while challenging more advanced students inspiring them to continue on their yoga journey while applying it to their daily lives. She loves the practice and teaching of yoga and is known for her ability to motivate students and tap each individual’s inner higer self, bringing together the mind, body, and spirit.

Trish continues to train and draw inspiration from her teachers and mentors. Her yoga training spans traditional Hatha and Iyengar styles of yoga, as well as Kundulini, Bhakti, Anusara, Partner/Acrobatic and Wall yoga. Her foundation stems from her formal education in Exercise Science (Nutrition and Athletic Training), as well as in business. She holds a Master’s degree in Education/Counseling and was a former competitive tri-athlete and bodybuilder. Her influences stem from master yogis Duncan Wong, John Friend, Rusty Wells, Pradeep Teotia, Richard Freeman, Ganga White, Paul Grilley, Sarah Powers, and Johnny Kest. Her style of teaching combines traditional Hatha & Iyengar yoga with newly developed yoga practices such as Yogic Arts, Bhakti, Anusara, Wall and partner yoga.

"Living in a state of Grace begins with one's Yoga practice. As you embrace the foundations of Yoga and your asana practice, you will find a calmming sensation, allowing you to detach from the stress found in daily life and enjoy each moment as you experience your journey. "
