Tricia Miranda

Tricia Miranda went to her first yoga class on a whim in 1998. She remembers how everything about that experience was entirely new to her—from the postures to the emphasis on the breath, from the Sanskrit names to the chant of om. But she found herself returning the next week and the next, and from there, exploring over the years different styles of yoga. Eventually, the joy and centered-ness she felt after every class nudged her in the direction of wanting to teach yoga and promote its benefits. In 2008, she enrolled in the 200-hour certification program with Laurel Hodory at It’s Yoga in Columbus, Ohio and will earn her certification in November. In her classes, Tricia hopes to help her students embark on a similar journey from whim to well-being. Off the mat, she teaches English and history at the high school level, and she lives with her artist husband, her two young daughters, and an atypically friendly Scottish terrier in Clintonville.
