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 also run short meditation courses and teach meditation one to one.

I have experience of working in NHS hospitals, private mental health clinics, in schools and for groups with specific health issues such as: Chronic Fatigue, Eating Disorders, Anxiety and Depression, Back Pain, and supporting people living with grief.  I have completed my training as an end of life Doula. I particularly enjoy working one to one with clients and supporting them towards better health and happiness.

I am fully insured, registered with 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
