Musculoskeletal system A passionate and dedicated yoga instructor, Yvonne Patrick brings over 20 years of experience to her classes in Nottingham. Specialising in Yin, Hatha, and Restorative Yoga, Yvonne offers a range of sessions to suit beginners and mixed ability students alike. Located in the Beeston area of Nottingham, Yvonne also provides workshops and 1:1 sessions for those seeking a more personalised experience.
Having trained with the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY), Yvonne's expertise extends beyond the physical aspects of yoga. She is also a certified Yin yoga teacher, having studied under renowned teachers such as Paul Grilley and With-Yin Yoga. Yvonne's yoga journey began as a way to manage stress levels while working as a nurse, and she fell in love with the practise's philosophy and holistic approach. Eventually, she made the decision to transition from nursing to become a full-time yoga teacher.
Yvonne's background in nursing, particularly in Rheumatology and the musculoskeletal system, adds depth and insight to her teaching. With over 30 years of experience working with people, Yvonne understands the individual needs of her students and creates a safe and inclusive environment in her classes.
While Yvonne enjoys teaching and practising both Hatha and Yin Yoga, she has observed a noticeable shift in students seeking the balancing effects of Yin Yoga in their busy and stressful lives. She is passionate about this style and finds joy in witnessing her students' positive responses to the practise. Yvonne believes that yoga is not simply a physical exercise but a comprehensive system that nurtures the emotional and mental well-being crucial to overall good health.
Yoga has had a profound personal impact on Yvonne's life, allowing her to deepen her self-awareness and challenge her limiting beliefs and attitudes. She views yoga as a discipline that teaches love, respect, and acceptance of oneself and others. Whether a newcomer to yoga or someone with experience, Yvonne hopes that students will find inspiration and positivity in their own yoga journeys.
Especially during challenging times, Yvonne's yoga practise has been a source of strength and resilience. It has helped her cope with life's uncertainties, stressors, and challenges. Despite recent circumstances, Yvonne has embraced the opportunity to engage in online classes and workshops, broadening her knowledge and connecting with teachers she wouldn't have otherwise encountered. She is grateful that her students have also been able to experience the sense of community through online platforms.
While Yvonne's classes are typically conducted in Beeston and Beeston Rylands, she currently offers classes online. Students can choose from Yin Yoga, a passive style of yoga with longer-held floor postures; Hatha Yoga, based on traditional yoga principles; and Restorative Yoga, a practise focused on relaxation and promoting the body's natural restoration processes. Additionally, Yvonne is a Menopause Yoga accredited teacher, offering specialised classes to support women during this transitional stage.
With her extensive experience, commitment to ongoing learning, and emphasis on creating a supportive environment, Yvonne Patrick is dedicated to helping her students discover the transformative power of yoga. Join her classes and experience the physical, emotional, and mental benefits that yoga can bring to your life.
