Trish Nealon, RYT 200, 500

My first yoga class took place over 20 years ago at the Himalayan Institute. The energy and focus of that mindful, traditional practice convinced me that there was no such thing as just a beginning yoga class.

When you come to my class, I teach for you, to where you are at that moment. I love laughter in class. That's the work of the ananda maya kosha, the bliss body, a profound aspect of yoga. Or, in English, I believe practicing should be fun. Still, we all recognize the effort we put into our yoga. Maybe it just feels better to do it together.

I am certified at the Yoga Alliance 500-hour level through Prairie Yoga. I received my 200-hour RYT from Temple of Kriya Yoga. I am currently working on certification to especially help practitioners with scoliosis. I am immensely grateful to all the teachers and students who walk with (or drag) me along the path. I seek to return the favor.

Yoga is for everyone at every time of life, and so I am blessed: my students are of widely varying ages and practice experience. But across all styles and niches and on all practice levels and I am constantly amazed at the promise that the yoga holds for opening the door to balance and joy. Sooner or later, you realize that you are your own teacher.
