About the Instructor
Patricia Healey has over 30 years experience as an internationally recognized and certified teacher. Patricia began her teacher training under the direct guidance of Swami Vishnudevananda, Sivananda Ashram. Studying all aspects of yoga and various styles, she was then deeply influenced by the precision and intelligence of B.K.S. Iyengar at the Iyengar Institute in India, where she continues yearly training, deepening her own personal practice. .
Patricia's practice stems from a belief that a mindful approach to Yoga is a lifelong journey of deepening one's awareness of the body, the breath, the mind and emotions through the practice of the asanas, with refinement gained through focus and meditation.
Patricia's experience has also been enhanced through initiations and teachings in mediation and mindfulness with H.H. the Dalai Lama, Zasep Tulku Rinpoche and Thich Nhat Hanh . Patricia not only teaches, but embodies the practice in her everyday life.
