Our Story
Twisted Times Yoga was inspired by a 15-year-old who struggled with weight and body image. Like many others, her low self-esteem made her unlikely to step into a fitness studio. Still, she accepted an invitation to a virtual yoga class offered by Twisted Times Yoga founder, Trish Uzquiano. Though she kept her camera off, her breath was audible—a quiet but powerful sign of her presence. Over time, that simple act of showing up became an opening.
Through yoga, she discovered the power of her own breath and body—a reminder that transformation begins within. Her story reflects the quiet power of yoga: a practice that meets us exactly where we are, guiding us toward confidence, healing, and self-love.
Yoga and Consciousness
Yoga is not just a practice confined to the mat; yoga is an all-encompassing lifestyle. The physical practice prepares the mind for meditation—and that’s where the real magic happens. The journey into consciousness invites us to explore our thoughts, emotions, and reactions, fostering a profound connection to our inner selves. As we embrace the teachings of yoga, we learn to navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience, transforming our everyday experiences into opportunities for growth. Ultimately, yoga guides us on a path of self-discovery, illuminating the way toward a more harmonious and purposeful existence. We are all capable of a more expansive and enlightened way of living.
