Over the last several years I tried 3 other yoga classes with 5 different instructors and still hadn’t found the right combination. I needed a workout that stretched my muscles in a progressive manner and built muscle strength, but I also wanted an environment that was calming, relaxing and “restorative”. I found the perfect match in Patricia’s Restorative Yoga at the Stoughton Yoga Center. At the end of her class, I am relaxed, refreshed and feel properly stretched out. I am gaining strength in different areas of my body and gaining confidence by improving my overall well-being.
As an instructor, Patricia Green has some unique characteristics which I feel enrich her teaching style. First her voice is calm and soothing as she coaches you through each move providing instruction on the most basic version then progressing through to the more challenging version for the more advanced student.
The second unique quality that Patricia has is that she is a registered nurse. She has also been trained as a pre-school teacher. These professional skills enhance her ability to communicate when focusing on different areas of the body explaining the physical connections - which muscles, tendons and ligaments are affected by a particular movement. She also explains how non-movement can affect different areas of the body. Patricia is always conscious of body alignment to prevent harm to an area. I didn’t get that information, or sense of calm in any of the other classes I tried. For me, the atmosphere of the class and the understanding why I’m moving a certain way, what the benefits are to me, is very important. Patricia provides the right combination of both.

Patricia is an outstanding yoga instructor. She is knowledgeable, caring, funny and hard working. She is patient and willing to provide individual guidance, yet keeps the class moving. Patricia notices when I'm working hard and reminds me to breathe; she can tell when my tongue is glued to the roof of my mouth and reminds me to relax. She has an uncanny ability to challenge me to stretch just a little bit more. I truly appreciate Patricia's yoga style. She is remarkable and her motto of aging with grace and dignity is reflected in each class.
