About Patty
Yoga Instructor
Your Wellness Guide for a Mindful life
Patty comes to the mat with over 30 years of classroom experience teaching elementary and middle school students. Her involvement with students, parents, and teachers led her to pursue a Doctorate in Educational Leadership. The focus of her dissertation was the social and emotional competencies that pave the way towards mental health and well-being. This research, along with her personal health journey, led her to yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.
As a retired educator and certified 200 hour Yoga Teacher and Social Emotional Learning Facilitator, her goal now includes supporting others on their own health journeys.
She is excited to be a member of the Into the Woods care squad! Come join Patty on the mat!
True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.
