Sandy Patrick

Facing health challenges of her own, Sandy began attending yoga classes at the Orillia YMCA and was inspired and encouraged by several yoga teachers including Ida Herbert who started practicing yoga in her 50’s and at age 95 was still healthy and teaching at the Y and at her retirement community gym. After completing the YMCA’s yoga teacher training program in 2009, Sandy began to volunteer teach at the Y where for many years she shared her passion with like-minded people who believe in strengthening community through programs that support mind, body and soul. A strong desire was put on her heart by God to share her Christian faith in her yoga classes which led to yoga teacher training in the US in 2012 with Yahweh Yoga, the first Christian yoga teacher training academy in the world credentialed by Yoga Alliance. Please visit Yahweh Yoga’s website: https://www.yahwehyoga.com/ In June of 2012 Sandy founded Open To Grace Christian Yoga. Since then, students who are curious about practicing yoga with a Christian perspective have enjoyed her classes that emphasize wellness of the body, mind and spirit through yoga exercise, breath work, scriptural meditation, prayer and Christian music.
