Patricia Rockwood

Patricia Rockwood has been practicing yoga for about 20 years. She is still awed after every practice at how integrated and congruent she feels. She wanted to share this practice with others so at age 60 Patricia did her teacher training in Vinyasa Flow Yoga giving her even more reason to do yoga daily. Patricias offerings are for two very different types of practices, Vinyasa Flow Yoga and Gravity Yoga.
Vinyasa Flow Yoga or 1 flow yoga is practiced by stringing poses together so you move from one to the next seamlessly using breath. It is inclusive for all levels of yogis. We each experience challenges that we bring to the mat. Vinyasa Flow offers 2 or 3 variations for each pose. And sequencing variation for multiple levels of experience. Flexibility and strengthening are our goals. Breath keeps us present in our practice. Vinyasa Flow is branched off of Hatha Yoga bringing in a more powerful and quicker flow while still offering the calming postures for the body, mind, and spirit. It is the perfect practice!
Gravity Yoga (R) offers targeted mobility classes to help with strength and/or flexibility. As we age, experience injuries or just feel tight from other forms of exercise we lose flexibility and mobility. GY lengthens our myofascial tissues and muscles thus reducing pain. Poses are on the mat and are held for longer periods of time while incorporating calming breath work.
Movement is Medicine. Yoga means union. Bringing together body, breath and mind to intentionally practice. And GROW.
