Patti Yates

RN, RYT-200

Patti has been teaching yoga for more than 30 years. Her teaching is grounded in the belief that yoga offers benefits for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Influenced by B.K.S. Iyengar, T.K.V. Desikachar, Aadil Palkhivala, and other respected teachers, Patti brings an attentive, compassionate approach to her classes.

Her nursing background has deepened her interest in yoga’s therapeutic possibilities, including restorative practices and yoga for people navigating illness and recovery. Patti encourages students to use yoga to develop strength, awareness, and inner quiet. Her goal is to help each student discover greater peace, presence, and connection to their true nature.
