Meet your instructor: Trish
My Yoga Journey began almost 30 years ago in Rishikesh, India. The lessons were intense, nurturing is not a word that comes to mind!, but despite the brusque approach and the ‘muscle fever’ that was only relieved by more practise – yoga has found me!
After returning to the UK I began to practise Iyengar Yoga and continued with this tradition for many years. I completed a Yoga Teacher Diploma (Hatha Yoga) in 2006 and have been teaching, in a variety of contexts and settings, since then. I am a bit of an ‘alignment-nerd’ and am always concerned when yoga is led, not taught, without a focus on listening to, and respecting, our physical bodies.
I went on to complete post-graduate Yoga Therapy Diploma (I am registered with the Complementary and Natural HealthCare Council) and this taught me the importance of ‘function over form’ and that alignment for one body might not ‘look’ the same as it does for another. It also helped me to truly embed both pranayama (breath control) and meditation into my personal practise as well as my teaching.
My current passion projects include yoga on ‘social’ prescription, yoga therapy for trauma and PTSD and, of course, Park Yoga!
During a career dedicated to teaching and training, life has happened. It has taken twists and turns; there have been highs and lows. It took years to embed a daily yoga practise, both on and off the mat, into my life and I am – of course – still learning but one thing that I am sure of, is that yoga has been my guiding light throughout and I will be eternally grateful that yoga found me.
It would be my pleasure to share your yoga journey with you.

Well, it was mostly dry & not - by Cornish standards - that windy as we gathered today. The weather kindly stayed condusive as we 'arrived', drew energy from the Earth, freed our joints whilst exploring our balance & began to salute the last of the Summer sun but right at that moment ... the heavens opened 🌧, the wind whipped up 🌪 & we had a very short but very heart-felt meditation 💜 before heading home. It would seem folks that Summer and the Park Yoga 2025 season is officially over!
It's been such a wonderful season 😊 We've had some extremes in terms of the weather but we were only rained off once, we've moved our bodies, connected with our breath & stilled our minds. We've welcomed back old frirends whilst growing our community 🧡and the roots that extend from Park Yoga Bodmin 🌳 connect us way beyond our Sunday morning practice in the park 🥰
Later in the week I will post with details of how we can continue to practice together over the winter months but for now, I just want to say a BIG thank you for being YOU! You really do provide the sense of belonging & connection that is so important for our well-being and that fills my heart with joy 💚
If you haven't yet completed the participant survey - please do! It really does make a BIG difference. surveymonkey.com/r/parkyoga2025
And of course, that gentle reminder that Park Yoga is a charity and whilst all 2025 sessions have been free, if you would like to, and are in a position to, donate - even a small amount - it WILL make a diffrence. parkyoga.co/donate/ 💚
Go well all & I look out for my post later in the week 🙏
