Welcome to Trashie Yoga
Our Purpose
At Trashie Yoga, our purpose is clear: to raise awareness about the interconnectedness of our physical well-being, mental peace, and the environment we inhabit. We believe that by nurturing these three aspects, we can create a ripple effect that positively impacts our lives and the planet.
Founder, Beatrice Hernandez: A Catalyst for Change. Beatrice's journey began during her beach runs and strolls through her community Venice Beach, where she confronted the disheartening sight of litter and trash marring the natural beauty of her surroundings. Rather than turning a blind eye, Beatrice chose to confront the issue head-on. She recognized that although her efforts might not save the world, they would save her peace of mind.
Our Community
Beatrice's commitment led her to collaborate with Venice Community Cleanups, founded by Chris Lee. Through this partnership, Trashie Yoga and Venice Community Cleanups support each other in promoting trash pick-up events, fostering a community united by a common goal. Together, they create a safe and friendly environment for volunteers, who, after a couple of hours of cleaning up trash, leave feeling fulfilled and empowered.
Co-Founder Isabella Morillo: An Artist's Vision
In the spirit of collective action, Trashie Yoga welcomed Isabella Morillo as a co-founder. Isabella's talent as a muralist and artist, renowned for her work throughout the community, adds a creative dimension to the organization's mission. Through art, she helps raise awareness about environmental issues and inspires others to join the cause.
