About the Instructor:
Pat Loughlin: (Yoga) Pat has come to the Berkshires because of her love of the mountains and nature and the profound influence Yoga has had on her life. As a clergy member of the United Methodist Church, she practiced Yoga faithfully to help deal with the challenges of her work. Coming to Kripalu several years ago for a weekend introduced her to the natural beauty of the area and the supportive environment for Yoga. As a pastoral counselor, Pat was finding that the traditional “talk” therapies, while providing some relief from the burdens people were facing in their day to day lives, left something missing. Reading the work of Bessel A. Van Der Kolk, MD., “The Body Keeps the Score,” and David Emmerson’s “Overcoming Trauma through Yoga,” she began to see the connection between the goal of wholeness and unity that is the heart of Yoga and her pastoral work. Training with, Patty Townsend, founder, Corinne Matthews and other amazing teachers at Yoga Center Amherst, she completed the YTT-200 hour certification in Embodyoga@. “Embodyoga@ fuses the emergent wisdom of Body-Mind Centering@ developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, with Hatha Yoga practices and Indian philosophy.” It is a melding of the best of the ancient wisdom of India that has brought us Yoga, and the Body-Mind Centering of our most recent physiological discoveries. It’s Yoga, from the inside out!!!
