There’s no guarantee you’ll get along with your siblings, but I seriously lucked out! @kell_kao, your small-but-mighty mentality continues to inspire me, your contagious giggle never ceases to make me smile, and your wit always reminds me that you are wise beyond your years. HBD to the coolest kid I know. ILY shortie 🥳
I’m really really happy being me. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Up until a couple years ago, i would have a hard time believing that statement. I lived with a “fake it till you make it” mentality that if I was happy-go-lucky, that one day I would just wake up happy. NOPE! Turns out it was a coping mechanism to escape from some pretty irrational insecurities. That’s when my therapist recommended I try yoga. I honestly didn’t think anything of it, and it was love at first sweat (thanks @alvicter). I found a place where I could do something i love (exercise) but also create some mental clarity. It gave me a sanctuary where i could just breathe and move without the distractions of everyday life. Yoga isn’t magic, but being able to intentionally breathe for an hour really does miracles for your emotions and thought patterns. It took work to maintain consistency, but my physical practice then turned into a mental and emotional curiosity which ultimately allowed me to face and break whatever barriers were keeping me from being comfortable with myself. I finally learned to trust myself when I started teaching, and once that clicked, I finally felt like i could step into being genuine, bona fide Patti! 💕All i want is for people to know what it feels like to be comfortable in their own minds and bodies. We’re all unique and amazing in our own ways, and that’s something to be embraced! * I am super excited to announce I get to be a part of the coaching team for @corepoweryoga brea’s next round of power teacher training!

🔲 i love block 🔳 all too often, i see students reject their yoga blocks, seeing them as symbols of weakness or inexperience. for the longest time, that was me - “blocks are for beginners, no thank you” 🙄 🔳 it’s true, blocks do offer assistance for yogis with more limited ranges of motion, but they also can help advance your practice in so many ways. by limiting our range of motion or adding resistance, we can figure out proper alignment and appropriate muscle engagement. they can help you get deeper into a posture, as well as offer support for trickier arm balances or inversions. so have fun with your blocks! 🔲 sometimes asking for assistance or support seems like a sign of weakness or regression. but when we swallow our pride and allow ourselves to be supported, we ultimately are provided perspective and given insight into what we are really capable of. * * #pattitip #yogainstructor #yoga #mindfulness #inspiration #yogatip #yogaforbeginners #dreamingbig #healthandmindfulness #yogapractice #yogadaily #perspective #health #selflove #selfcare #yogapractice #chinstand #armbalance #gandabherundasana #yogablock instagram vs real life 🐒 lately, it’s been a major strugs to find a good pic to post... it takes like a million shots to take the perfect one but 🤷🏻‍♀️ why does it have to be #instaworthy ? be uniquely you and do more of what makes you happy * * * #pattitip #yogainstructor #yoga #mindfulness #inspiration #bossbabe #dreamingbig #healthandmindfulness #yogapractice #yogadaily #perspective #health #selflove #selfcare #motivation #determination #teambossbabe #beyou #igvsreality
