Welcome to my Substack and thank you for checking in here!

I am so excited to be able to offer articles, videos, and audio posts to assist your inquiry and joy of discovery in yoga. I bring with me over 50 years of continuous and serious study of all things yoga. Embodyoga® is the name I have given the container of that work. I hope you will enjoy learning with me.

Embodyoga is a principled and grounded somatic approach to the practices and the philosophical essence of yoga. We practice the yoga of engagement and relationship. We use yoga’s skillful means for deep inquiry.

Let’s come together through wisdom and mutual respect.
Let’s drop the hierarchy and embrace a unified filed of life, ethics, philosophy, and yes…love.
Let’s move beyond judgement, self-loathing, self-aggrandizing, and jockying with our own egos.
Let’s learn to accept ourselves and our lives; to take personal responsibility for our actions, and explore what a more wholistic yoga can feel like.
Let’s embrace nature and with her, all of her faults and rough edges. Yours and mine. All of ours.

Life is hard. It is not easy to accept life as it is and to engage and relate, to take action in the world with integrity, truthfulness, and love. Handling the challenges of life with grace and equanimity is not easy. 

For many years I asked myself, “How does one live a life of deep inquiry while raising four children, running yoga centers, continuing to study, and teaching yoga full time?

”What are the personal challenges that you face? How do you approach them in your own practices? 

A brave and inclusive understanding of living yoga can be very helpful. 

It is my joy, and perhaps my responsibility, to share what I have gleaned from these many years of dedicated and continuous practice.

This journey includes you! Read, watch, listen, and COMMENT! Engagement and communication underly learning and growing. We cannot do it all alone. But we can do it together. 

Gratefully,
Patty
