Gloria Trevino
Therapeutic Yoga Teacher and Owner of TheraPLAYoga Adaptive Yoga Studio in Lansing, Michigan, United States
HI, I’M GLORIA.
Inclusion and Compassion Activist, Therapeutic Yoga Teacher, and owner of TheraPLAYoga- Adaptive Yoga Studio.
I snap my neck to any variation of Mom, but you can call me Glo.
My pronouns are she/her.
I’M CHANGING THE SHAPE AND VIBE OF YOGA IN THE GREATER LANSING AREA.
My passion is in making difficult yoga poses, confusing yoga philosophy, the science of yoga, embodied self-care, and community-care radically inclusive and truly accessible to diverse bodies, brains, and abilities; while maintaining the integrity of yoga practices and acknowledging the roots of its South Asian culture.
IN PRIVATE SESSIONS AND SMALL GROUP ENVIRONMENTS-
I help children, teens, and adults learn somatic supports so they can, safely and with agency, connect to their bodies, explore their interoceptive experience, transform their relationship with their minds, and engage more [play]fully in their relationships.
I specialize in teaching trauma-sensitive, sensory integrated, adaptive yoga as a resource for physical, mental, and emotional wellness and engagement to children, teens, and adults with complex needs,
… including: physical and intellectual disabilities, neurodivergence, health conditions and pregnancy, neuromuscular and neurological conditions, sensory challenges, trauma, anxiety, depression, pain and limitations.
I also offer respite support for sustainable parent-caregiving and self-lovers; who experience overwhelm, stress, exhaustion, and burnout.
I partner with ethical non-profit organizations, schools, community-minded businesses, and YOU to uplift access for individuals and families in the Greater Lansing area, who would benefit from therapeutic, playful yoga.
My lived experiences are my MOST valuable credentials.
