Read About This Teacher
We adore Patricia's quiet and refined practice style. She generously shares her discoveries, and shimmers with delight while doing so. Her teaching expresses a depth and breadth that arise from over 30 years of teaching, and includes many streams of study.Patricia's exploration of yoga began in 1971 with the Iyengars in India during the 1980’s. She taught Advanced Studies at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco throughout the 1990’s before embarking on her own independent studies. Patricia continues to contribute her skills in teacher trainings and retreats at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, the Yoga Loft, Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and the Insight Yoga Institute, among others.
Patricia’s work draws from a broad study of yogic traditions, her artwork, and Buddhist practice. Her practice and study of Buddhism brings the emphasis of mindful awareness and investigation taking precedence over accomplishment, and her work as an artist adds a creative, improvisational element to the classes. By weaving these streams – precision, sensitive awareness, improvisation – Patricia presents us with the rare opportunity to explore the deep, subtle, and life altering potential that Yoga and Buddhist practices offer.
Patricia’s knowledge of alignment, anatomy, and kineseology promotes healing and aesthetic awareness. Her guidance in attuning to, calming, and toning the energy body through sensitive awareness in the poses, through sound, chanting, and pranayama practices, creates an effective bridge to and from the more subtle aspects of our existence. She emphasizes process, curiosity, exploration and modification according to individual needs.
Patricia is at home in water, whether swimming in the pool or ocean. We are continually grateful for the currents that weave Patricia into our lives and nourish our hearts.
