Through yoga, Christina creates welcoming spaces for self-exploration by helping others connect with their thoughts and emotions. She values knowledge-sharing as a way to foster connection and compassion in her community and seeks to create opportunities for it. Off the mat, she enjoys exploring local markets, spending time with her rabbit, and diving into crafting projects—even if they do not get finished.
Trish O'Brien
(she/they)
Trish holds deeply in the belief that yoga has the power to lead to transformation and liberation—both the personal and the collective—and she was drawn to teach yoga to share the gifts and wisdom that this practice has given her. She views yoga as both a radical tool for reclaiming agency in one’s own life and as a collective offering that fosters connection, healing, compassion, and empathy among us all. She is dedicated to creating a space where students of all body types, neurotypes, and states of being can find steadiness, support, and empowerment in every shape and feel welcomed into the yoga world.
In her non-yoga life she enjoys seeing live music, reading, hiking, crafting, and she also runs a vegan, gluten-free bakery (Heart Space Bakes).
Trish also teaches at Y7, The Yoga Common, and Yoga Vida.

Who We Are
We’re not contortionists. We’re folks who love to feel well and explore movement alongside a welcoming community. We prioritize functional movement and breath awareness over flexibility.
We like to nerd out. From anatomy to philosophy, we dive deep into the why and how of yoga, offering knowledge that empowers our practice and everyday life.
We love making things and expressing ourselves through art, music, poetry, crafts, food, anything creative. Our offerings go beyond yoga poses; we explore the interconnectivity of human emotion, inspiration, and freedom.
We love to listen and share our humanity, in all its confusing messiness. We think human stories are not only interesting, but vital in helping us inch closer to the goal of collective liberation.
And we love silence. In stillness, we find clarity. Meditation and mindful pauses are just as essential to our practice as movement and creation. These moments guide us to reflect and reconnect.
Mission, Vision, and Values
Mission
Our mission is to create welcoming and inclusive spaces wherever we meet, so individuals can explore their unique journey through yoga and community gatherings. We are dedicated to fostering authenticity, creativity, compassion, and knowledge, empowering our community to connect with their bodies, minds, and hearts. Whether through dynamic Vinyasa flows, calming meditation circles, Poets’ Lounges, or creative workshops, our goal is to offer diverse, accessible practices that support personal growth, healing, and connection. We are a sanctuary where everyone is encouraged to embrace their inner weird and their inner warrior, exactly as they are.
Vision

Taylor's Story
For as long as I can remember, I've been one of the weird kids. Socially awkward, nerdy, artsy, bookish. That sweet, odd kid who never fit in is still present in my spirit, and I know there are so many folks (especially in Austin) who can relate. Folks who feel distant in a yoga setting where the expectation is to be smiley and outgoing and surface-level. And I know there are people looking for something more, something different, odd, extraordinary, and fantastic.
So I've been dreaming up a yoga space that embraces authenticity, creativity, compassion, and depth, but without the new age mysticism and romanticization of the "exotic". A space where folks can be nerds, artists, collectivists, and awkward together! That's what I want Weird Warrior Yoga Group to be.
Does this resonate with you? I'd love for you to consider being a part of our group.
Focus on DHARANA & DHYANA
Practice inner alignment through concentration & meditation.
In Dharana (concentration), the mind learns to hold attention on a single object; in Dhyana (meditation), this focus becomes uninterrupted. These practices develop clarity, equanimity, and insight, leading toward the deeper goals of yoga. Our group meditations offer a supportive web of shared intention that reminds us we are not alone on the path.
Focus on KRIYA & CREATIVITY
Let practice become a form of action & expression.
The practice of yoga invites the integration of all aspects of self, including creative expression. Inspired by the teachings of kriya (action), svadhyaya (self-inquiry), and sankalpa (intention), we explore movement, writing, voice, art, activism, and more as authentic forms of practice, duty, and discovery.
Focus on ASANA
Observe the body & mind through postural yoga.
Asana is the third limb of yoga—steady, comfortable posture. Through physical practice, we cultivate strength, flexibility, and balance while preparing the body and nervous system for deeper internal work. Our offerings range from grounding Hatha and dynamic Vinyasa, to stretchy Yin and calming Restorative—all tools for self-awareness.
Focus on SANGHA & HEALING
Find peace in the presence of community.
Yoga is not only a personal path—it is relational. The concept of sangha (community) supports healing through connection, reflection, and mutual support. Our offerings on community & healing recognize that growth, and ultimately liberation, are nurtured in spaces of trust, care, and collective wisdom.
