Tell us about yourself, Patricia.

I have been practicing yoga since I was a child, but the last twelve years I have focused more seriously in my practice. I have a 200YTT. I am a retired judge but now mediate/arbitrate. I’m working harder than ever before, but still attend my yoga classes!

I taught yoga at the court and had classes in the courtroom up to the time of the pandemic. Our yoga classes were under the eyes of official photos of appellate judges (all male) who served the last century!

I have been practicing at Nest Yoga since the pandemic. I love my zoom classes since I live in the Texas Hill Country. I started taking classes with Annie and Richard and have been Richard’s student ever since!!! I still teach but now I teach three of my neighbors twice a week and for free - I love it!

What is your favorite movie, book, song or artist/artwork?

Movie & Music: Cinemma Paraiso and its music; Book: Any book!

What do you love the most about practicing yoga?

I love my yoga, it makes me happy, and it transports me to a positive and happy world.

What is your favorite yoga pose?

Trying very hard to conquer bakasana!

What is your least favorite yoga pose?

Vrschikasana (scorpion pose)

What is your favorite place to visit?

South of France (would love to live there someday). My dream is to either go to India to a yoga center and get my 500 hour OR obtain it through Nest yoga under the tutelage of Richard, Annie, Baxter and Leslie! I prefer the latter!
