Patricia Sullivan began her yoga practice in
1970,
studied in India with BKS and Geeta Iyengar in the
80's, and taught teachers-in-training at the San
Francisco Iyengar Yoga Institute through the late 90's.
She has taught nationally and internationally for over
twenty five years. Yoga has guided her life decisions
since the beginning of her practice.
Her teaching springs from a broad study of the yogic
tradition. Breathing practices, Sutra study, directing
the flow of energy through the body, and meditation
all play a part in her classes.
Patricia has also been a student of the Buddhist
tradition of meditation and the practice of
compassionate mindfulness in living. This influence
results in a teaching style that is non-dogmatic and
non-judgemental as well as exacting in form and
methodology.
An accomplished sculptor, Patricia's classes are
imaginative, exploratory and continuously evolving.
She emphasizes process rather than end result,
curiosity rather than "knowingness", and always
brings to her classes a feeling that yoga is not only a
vehicle for self-transformation, it's fun.
By weaving these three streams of practice: precise
knowledge, gentle awareness, and artistic innovation,
Patricia's classes offer us the opportunity to explore
the deep, subtle, and life altering force that is yoga.
