About

“Yoga teaches us how to be comfortable in our bodies, whatever age or shape, or health limitations we may have.  And that in turn allow us to nurture a peaceful happy mind”

I have been practising yoga and meditation for over 45 years. I first taught yoga in my 20’s but updated my training as a yoga teacher in 2007 and qualified as a yoga therapist in 2009.

I now work as both a yoga teacher and a yoga therapist, and I train yoga therapists for the Real Yoga teacher training school. I  am currently offering three friendly accessible group yoga classes a week, at various venues in Egham, plus one to one yoga, and yoga as therapy from my home in Englefield Green.

I have experience offering yoga in NHS hospitals, private mental clinics, schools and for groups with specific health issues. I have specific experience of working with chronic fatigue, eating disorders, anxiety and depression, back pain, and supporting people living with grief.  I am also training as an end of life Doula. I particualrly enjoy working one to one with clients and supporting them towards better health and happiness.

I am fully insured, registered with the International Association of Yoga Therapists, the Yoga Therapy Association and the Complimentary and Natural Health Care Council.

I would love to hear from you so please get in touch Patricia@theyogaroot.com
