"Patricia Sullivan has a beautiful presence which draws the student into the heart of yoga. Her encyclopedic knowledge of the body and the asana allows even the most injured student to proceed safely and begin to heal the body. Each student receives the individual care and attention needed to dive deeper into their own practice. Patricia's classes are profoundly rewarding." Ashley Sharp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I remember distinctly the day, many years ago now, when I first met Patricia. Friends had been telling me to check out this teacher because "she is the real thing", and after some time, I finally had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with her. The thing that stands out foremost in my mind is the way that Patricia saw me, as a student and fellow yogi, in a way much deeper than I was accustomed to being seen. Years and many lessons later, I still feel that is her highest gift as a teacher. Patricia's attention to the minutest details of body and spirit has the unavoidable affect of inspiring the deepest levels of awareness-- a numinous place which many teachers do not have the capacity, or the desire, to guide their students toward. There is both a safety and a dare in knowing that I am being watched like that, and it has made me want to step up to the challenge of truly showing myself--in her eyes, in my own, and in the eyes of the world; both during my asana practice and in my life's practice. Patricia is the real thing, and my respect and admiration for her is immeasurable." Tiffany Nixon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Patricia Sullivan holds the container by helping to set an Intention at the beginning of class. Then she brings our attention to equal awareness of the body's, the mind's, and the breath's response to each asana as we go slowly and deeply into the postures. Patricia's attention to thoughtful sequencing and deliberate and slow pacing allows us to come in touch with a greater sense of "being" and an openness to compassion for the self and others. By closing with meditation it allows us to really feel and integrate that "beingness and openness" to take out into our daily life." Gail Allison, RN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Patricia is a teacher of exceptional heart, wisdom, and skill. She enriches our lives and our practice. She is simply one of the best (on the planet!)." Martin Koeppel, M.D. & Sandra Stamos, L.Ac.
"Patricia is a rare find these days, when there are so many newly minted yoga experts around. Patricia is a mature teacher, a master teacher, who integrates her vast knowledge and experience in Yoga asana, pranayama, philosophy, and meditation into her classes. When she teaches she gracefully integrates all of this experience to find the right words, the best adjustment for each student." Samantha Oestergaard, San Francisco |
