HI THERE, I'M TRINA

I’m a movement educator who helps teachers tap into their own brilliance and understand how to break the rules, so they can create new and inventive exercises and classes to meet their students’ needs.

I received my training through STOTT Pilates® and am an E-RYT 500. I created Yoga Deconstructed® and Pilates Deconstructed® to show teachers how to take an interdisciplinary approach to foster an embodied understanding of yoga and Pilates in relation to modern movement science.

I’ve presented at Momentum Fest, the International Association of Yoga Therapy Conference, and Kripalu. I also created and taught a Pilates continuing-education course for physical therapists and was part of the faculty for the Brain Longevity conference at UCLA. I was the co-creator of Equinox’s signature program Best Stretch Ever, which utilizes the mobility stick to improve functional range of motion, body awareness, and total body strength.

I was a finalist in the Next Pilates Anytime Instructor Competition in 2017. My work has been published in Yoga Journal, Yoga International, and Pilates Style magazine and my classes have been featured on Yoga International and Yoga Anytime. I am also the author of Yoga Deconstructed®: Movement science principles for teaching, which shows yoga teachers how to integrate modern movement science into their classes and is published by Handspring Publishing.
