Helena joined the Trika fam after moving to Bristol from London, where in 2014 she first fell in love with the way yoga both strengthened her body and calmed her mind. We fell the same way for her teaching style when she reached out to us la…
Emily joined us late last summer, in between lockdowns when we were able to hold space in person for our lovely community, however fleetingly that was! As we reemerged from that first lockdown, Emily was a breath of fresh air, bringing her be…
