“My biggest passion is to help people bridge the gap from where they are to where they want to be. ”
- Trista Thorp
Trista’s own path to wellness has not been without trials and tribulations, and it was these experiences that led her to explore her own personal growth and to share the tools of transformation with others. Growing up an only child in various homes with many caregivers, Trista struggled with abandonment, ways to fit in, limiting beliefs about her self-worth and, ultimately, how to navigate a lifetime of emotional imprinting. Early in adulthood, she found herself deeply embedded in the fast-paced world of concert production, promotion and touring. Long hours, an exhausting workload, and unhealthy lifestyle choices continued to take their toll until finally — fifteen years later — she found herself at a crossroads. Her physical and emotional body were in revolt; it became clear that denial and self-sabotage were no longer an option.
“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”
- Leonard Cohen
After a decade of taking less than optimal care of her physical and emotional body, Trista landed on the yoga mat feeling broken and unsure of where to turn. But rather than succumb to the myriad of obstacles that had arisen, she chose to shift her perception and began to see her life through new eyes. Yoga provided new vision and an opportunity to recognize challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation. The obstacles became an opening to clarity, grace, and a deeper understanding of her life purpose.
“When two roads diverged in a wood, I took the one less traveled and that has made all the difference.”
- Robert Frost
After running a successful yoga studio in Venice, California for two years, Trista found herself at the Chopra Center, where the healing power of yoga, meditation and Ayurveda propelled her quantum leap into personal growth. Under the guidance of her close friends and mentors, Deepak Chopra and Dr. David Simon, she began cultivating within herself tools for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Through deeply introspective practices, she learned to embrace life’s uncertainties and to respond rather than react to life’s challenges. She became a more conscious communicator, found greater joy and freedom through the act of letting go, and realized the power of spending time in meditation. She knew the time had come for her to share the powerfully life-changing gifts she’d received with others.
In the years since, Trista has dedicated her life to helping others find purpose, health, and an overall wellness of being. Her services include helping clients develop a yoga routine that creates more strength, balance and flexibility; teaching people to access their inner creativity, power and intuition through meditation; and supporting clients as they explore healthier lifestyle choices.
Trista’s unique approach reflects not only her personal experience, but also the extensive studies she’s completed with some of the world’s leading teachers in yoga, meditation, and wellness. She is a Chopra Certified Vedic Master of Perfect Health: Ayurveda Lifestyle, Primordial Sound Meditation and Yoga. In addition, Trista is a Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master and Personal Empowerment and Wellness coach.
