Tricia McAvoy
Founder of Blissworks Yoga & Healing Arts and Director of Yoga. Tricia McAvoy is a certified Kripalu Yoga Instructor and a Karuna/Usui Reiki Master Teacher. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher through the National Yoga Alliance, a member of the Kripalu Yoga Teacher's Association.
Tricia is currently enrolled in an Anusara Immersion program, which is required for the Anusara Yoga Teacher Training which she plans to begin November 2008 with Todd Norian. She also led her third yoga program this June in England through the Cheshire Dance Association.
Tricia is certified through the Lotus Palm school out of Montreal, Canada, and offers Thai Yoga Therapy at Blissworks. She also teaches yoga classes locally at the Pfizer facilities in New London and Groton, CT.
Tricia started her practice of yoga in 1996 and began teaching in 2000. She believes yoga, along with other lifestyle changes, has allowed her to heal from lupus and its debilitating symptoms. Blissworks was birthed in 2004 and after a few trial locations, has finally found it's hOMe.
Tricia happily abides in New London (where she is thrilled to see the Renaissance of the city). While not practicing her yoga, Tricia enjoys nordic walking, rollerblading, playing on her Mac, and chanting whenever and where ever she gets the opportunity!
