My Yoga with Pat Simpson

In many ways I am stronger and more flexible. Space has been created within my body so I feel much better during the day. I am more aware of my posture and correct it when I feel myself slumping in front of the computer.

Yoga has been amazing. I am calmer and I was generally know as  a calm person before beginning practice. Before, I was sometimes anxious inside but was able to appear calm on the outside. Now I’m actually calm both inside and out. Things seem more in perspective so I don’t about the same things that I used to. I have more patience. I battle with depressed feelings sometimes and I am better able to rides these episodes out. The valve breath has been particularly effective for me.

Pat has encouraged me to seek other yoga experiences from other classes and instructors. Without the strong foundational work with Pat I don’t think I would be going to other classes and I would not be getting as much out of them. Pat has taught me that yoga really is your own practice and one should not be worried about others in the class but to focus on your own body and energy.
