  After many years of multiple facets in group exercise ranging from aerobics to body pump, program manager, choreographer and mentor the appeal of yoga as stress reduction and inner peace became inviting.   It was at that time I began my yoga journey by becoming a certified yoga level II and pilates instructor with AAAI/ISMA.   Since that time, I have continued the study of yoga by completing the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at MOYO Yoga Studio in Skippack,PA. While in the process of completing the 200 hour training I also completed the requirements for certification and became a 500 hour Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance a national certification.  Along the way I also had the opportunity to study under many experienced yogis, completing the YIN Teacher Training with Sarah Powers, and Restorative Yoga Teacher Training Level I & II with Jillian Pransky at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. Additionally I have taken the Unnata Aerial Yoga Teacher training, with the founder Michelle Dortignac, thus adding another dimension to my teaching. In addition to the restorative benefits of practicing yoga I understand the need to incorporate the energy of universal wellness in all practices. To achieve this my training has included, Level I & II Reiki, and Pranic Training.       Throughout my years of teaching, I’ve had the pleasure to watch my students grow in their practice, seeing change occurring in their physical and mental well being, while growing in both their yin and yang practice.    Teaching in many venues allows me to remain present to the ever evolving world, whether it is bringing yoga to the corporate workplace, gym, studio setting or as a mentor, where I have found a great sense of satisfaction in assisting students to become teachers.  In addition, many students, who are parents, have seen the benefits of yoga, and wanting to share this experience have encouraged their children to begin participating in a yoga program at an early age.  With this in mind, I obtained my Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher and Registered Children Yoga Teacher certifications with Yoga Alliance, and I began teaching Kid’s yoga, Family yoga, Prenatal yoga and Mommy’s and Me yoga.  It is my belief that one should live life fully with compassion while teaching and honoring the students and myself, while realizing that learning is ongoing as we share and help each other to understand and grow.  namaste, Pat
