The kind of life you lead when you follow the teachings, when you become aware of God's presence in your heart, is truly golden. You no longer live an ordinary life, you live a golden life. You live yoga.

Chris:

 

"I have had the singular privilege of knowing Pattra for most of my lifetime, and over the years I have yet to find one who so exemplifies the wisdom of Gurumayi's words above. I say this not as a tribute to her application of this profound lesson to her own life – although, as anyone who has spent even a little time with Pattra can attest, she exhibits union with the Divine Nature with equal parts purpose and grace – but because of her uncanny ability to inspire me to find God's presence within myself and live that life less ordinary, that golden existence that everyone deserves to experience.

 

Pattra believes this existence is something we are all capable of attaining. Nothing demonstrates this more than the compassionate way she carries herself in life. Through her quiet, yet powerful practice, she draws our spiritual gaze upwards, much like the celestial sphere that is her namesake, compelling us to look upon its divine light only to discover that it is a reflection of the fire of life residing within ourselves. Follow the light that Pattra reveals through her wonderful practice. Follow her guidance and find your life enriched. Follow Pattra and discover the true meaning of yoga."

 

Pamela:

 

"I first met Pattra at a yoga class almost ten years ago. Although a student, her poses were perfect, which led me to comment that I watched her more than the teacher to strive to better my practice.

 

When she became a teacher, I changed gyms twice to follow her and take her classes. What I like about her style is that she incorporates the vinyasa flow technique, but does not have you move thru the poses like a robot. She helps us understand that it is about the mind/body connection, not just exercise.

 

Her teaching encompasses both verbal instruction, physically adjusting our poses as well as being our role model and demonstrating each one. She has a great attitude and has inspired me so much that I now am beginning my yoga teacher training.

 

Pattra brings challenge to her students and a true yoga spirit. She would be a valuable member to any team."

 

Sharon:

 

"When I first began taking some yoga classes, I wasn't convinced it was the type of exercise or practice that I would stick with. Eventually a friend suggested trying power yoga and that's when I met Pattra and did not have to be convinced or talked into going. I truly enjoyed the experience of Pattra challenging our mind, body, and spirit. I always felt better after the practice and many times said to her "that class went by so fast" which to me meant I was engaged and enjoying it while also strengthening my body and spirit. I, too, have followed Pattra to the various locations and any yoga studio or fitness establishment would benefit from her experience and teaching expertise."

 

Patricia:

 

"I've been in Pattra's Yoga class since she first started teaching at Club Fitness. Pattra is always aware of her students' form and abilities, but her classes are more than just about Yoga poses. She teaches you to relax and take some time for yourself. She has a serenity about her which reflects in her teaching. I feel lucky to be one of her students."

 

Don:

 

"I always enjoy your classes, I have had three teachers other than yourself, the first I will admit got me hooked, but I was not as challenged in duration, form, balance. I still do not know how you are able to do all that you do, for as long, you kick our butts ( in a nice way) I know everyone who leaves class is well worked and tired, I also leave with a sense of calm. you are thorough in instruction, mindful to the students form, and make the whole class a pleasant time, I arrange my weekly schedule around your class, that says it all."

 

Diane:

 

“Pattra's [class] is the fastest hour of the week. She truly loves her craft and is an encourager to others to simply try their best. I was in terrible shape and had not worked out for upwards of seven or eight years prior to Club Fitness. It is with anticipation and gratitude that I attend every class I can with Pattra. She is simply “the best” and I want to let you know she is very much appreciated.”

 

Alex:

 

“I can honestly say that within a few months of your weekly Power Yoga classes that I quickly found my body in a balanced state I had not experienced since high school. The affirmations provided during classes gently encourage those in attendance to be present, relax their minds and renew. The real beauty of your approach lies in your ability to speak to a class and make them feel as if you are addressing each member personally. I remember countless times coming into class with a particular ache or knot and feeling as if the “practice” is tailored to the particular concern I am having without my having to make mention of such to you...

 

It is my sincere hope that the opportunities that will certainly open themselves to you in the near future to share your wonderful gifts with others will be met with a fraction of positivity of my own experiences. If so, you stand to change a great many lives for the better.”
