The Yoga Garden

I have been a student for over 20 years and continue to look forward to every class. I always leave the studio glad I made the time to stretch, learn something new and find joy in such a welcoming space. Patty is mindful of individual needs and has a unique way of connecting with everyone. Through yoga she encourages students to find, in her words, spaciousness, stability and satisfaction in daily life. Count me in!

Patty's practice spans across a wide variety of yoga philosophies and styles and she incorporates her in-depth knowledge about physiology and mindset. My husband and I take private lessons that are tailored to our energy that day and she seamlessly addresses our individual needs - no two lessons are ever the same! The studio space at St. Bart's is great. If you're wondering if Patty's yoga practice is for you, give it a try!

The Yoga Garden is a special place. Patty is encouraging, understanding and her classes are always thoughtful. Patty is always aware of her yogis aches and pains and teaches in a way that allows your body to do yoga without worrying about doing it "right"! Yoga is a practice, which Patty always reminds us of. Patty tapers the class to your individual needs and physical limitations when needed. I think I speak for many of Patty's students when I say she makes you feel like the best yogi in the universe. It is a mindful class that is also always full of fun and laughter.

My twice weekly yoga lessons with Patty Holmes/yogagardenwp.com are priorities in my life. I can honestly say that in the twenty-three years that I have been taking these classes, not one has been quite the same as previous ones. We are always learning something new. Since Covid, some of us have been taking classes on zoom which works very well for me. We have fun together. Now that I am in my eighties, I am so grateful that thanks to Patty I am still strong and flexible.

I have been taking yoga class with Patty since 1999 and there’s just not enough room to say all I’d like to say. Patty has not only taught me the benefits of yoga for both the mind and body, but she’s always been there for me, through some very tough times. I have to say, not only is she an excellent teacher but she also gives individual attention to anyone needing help with a pose. If you’re looking for “more than a yoga teacher” Patty is the one. I love her and the Yoga Garden and thank her from the bottom of my heart.
