OG YOGA INSTRUCTORS > TRISSA STANTON
Trissa Stanton
I am a 500-hour trained yoga teacher rooted in the Ashtanga tradition who has been teaching since 2010. Initially drawn to yoga for the physical benefits, I quickly noticed the mental, spiritual, emotional, and physiological rewards yoga has to offer. When I discovered Ashtanga yoga, I truly realized the transformative power of a consistent, dedicated, daily yoga practice. I continue to study with Natasha Teran to strengthen and develop my practice. In my classes, I bring a light-heartedness and fun to the disciplined practice to connect with my students and challenge them. At the same time, I make the practice accessible to all levels. My teaching style encourages proper breathing, strengthening mentally and physically, and use of proper technique to facilitate personal growth. I emphasize to my students to make yoga a daily practice so that they can find calm, even mind, realize their potential, and attempt to maintain that equanimous mind off their mats.
Words I live by…
Oooof, I just try to do better than I've done in the past.
What inspires me…
My friends and family, human resilience, the ocean, nature, animals, plants, art, music, creativity.
Outside of the studio…
You can find me doing more yoga at the park or my place, hanging out with my dog, working on my macrame, going to the beach, and attempting to rollerskate.
