Patti Breitbach Rashid, RYT, OTR

Patti is registered with Yoga Alliance and is a certified yoga instructor.  She completed her teacher training through Kanyakumari Ayurveda Education and Retreat Center and has been teaching since 2004.  In addition to being a yoga instructor, Patti is an occupational therapist with 23 years of experience in adult and pediatric rehabilitation in a variety of settings.  Patti has been trained in beginning Pilates matwork through Physical Mind Institute and is a former teacher and performer with Kanopy Dance Company of Madison, WI.  She is a certified Reiki practitioner and is trained in Thai Yoga bodywork. 

Patti's approach to teaching is guided by principles of proper alignment, functional movement and injury prevention but she is particularly influenced by B.K.S. Iyengar and the Anusara style of yoga.  Her teaching style is infused with humor, acceptance and encouragement while providing a calm environment in which to explore and enjoy the process of self discovery.

When she is not pursuing advanced training in yoga, the healing arts or OT, or on the mat developing her own practice,  Patti enjoys hiking, kayaking, biking, the outdoors, cooking, reading, studying aromatherapy, and spending time with family and friends.
