Hello Family!
I am Tra Kirkpatrick, Certified Yoga Therapist, Certified Life Coach, Yoga Educator + Teacher.
When most people think of the “typical yogi” I am not the vision that comes to mind. I’m a little rough around the edges. I don’t use fancy Sanskrit words or wear mala beads. Cussing is my love language. But don’t let the outer shell fool you… my teenager and any of my five animals will tell you I am a softy at heart.
I am a truth-teller and believe in the power of language to move us forward or hold us back. The pages of my own story are filled with life experiences that have helped me gain the knowledge, resources, and moxie to become who I am today. And I am here to help you.
Your happiness is my business. I am here to support women who are ready to identify and overcome unhealthy patterns, trust themselves more fully, and live with greater authenticity and joy. I won’t BS you – it won’t always be pretty or easy. But it is always worth it. We will get there together, step by step, breath by breath, with laughter and tears, and probably a few curse words along the way.
Let’s be partners
No one can do it alone. Nor was anyone meant to. Connection and collaboration are the foundation of any successful endeavor so together we will uncover obstacles that are holding you back from living with ease, freedom, and joy. By partnering with me you will receive support and resources to motivate, inspire, and help you create an intentional and radiant life.
First things first. You won’t truly know if I am your person until we get a chance to connect more deeply. Let’s set up a time to have a short chat to see if there is a way I might support you on your path.
Here’s my short story
As a person who long struggled to uncover my joy, I know what it’s like to feel as if life is a shit-show. I often felt brutalized and victimized by outside influences. I numbed out my pain with food and drugs; I was unhealthy in body and mind; I shut people out and closed my heart down. Now let me state the obvious: the way I was living was not working out well. My body was depleted for energy and vitality; my mind lacked clarity, and I likened my “aura” to that of Pigpen’s dust cloud.
In the late 1990s, the practice of yoga introduced me to something different—a peek into a life that was no longer riddled with pain and suffering. Something shifted. I began to sense my own value and worth. I slowly became more confident in my own voice and speaking my truth. No longer was I willing to let my life feel out of control. I tuned in. I got clear. I began to live with clarity and purpose. I started doing what I came to this earth to do: I came to live out loud.
Through my own intentional inner work using tools like yoga and life coaching, I know the hills and valleys of the path. Utilize my life experiences, years of training, study, and professional background to help you navigate the road ahead. Here’s a little more about how my yoga therapy, life coaching or yoga teacher mentoring services can support you.
