Welcome to the website of Yvonne Patrick Yoga
“Through Hatha and Yin Yoga, I support students in practicing safely, embracing inclusivity, and discovering strength in every season of life.”
Intro:
I’ve been practicing yoga for nearly 30 years and teaching since 2013. My classes focus on Hatha and Yin Yoga, with restorative elements woven in to support balance and ease. With a background in nursing, I value anatomy and safe practice, but I also believe yoga is about more than poses—it’s about building strength, compassion, and resilience at every stage of life.
About Me
I’ve been teaching yoga since 2013, building on nearly 30 years of personal practice. My 500-hour training with the British Wheel of Yoga gave me a strong foundation in both tradition and depth.
As a former nurse, anatomy is important to me, but I also recognise that every student is unique. I use props to make practice safe and accessible, and I encourage my students to listen to their bodies with kindness.
I mainly teach Hatha and Yin Yoga, often weaving in restorative poses. My classes are designed with thoughtful themes that connect the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of yoga. Inclusivity is central to my teaching, and I aim to bring warmth, compassion, and humour into every class.
I also acknowledge that life isn’t always easy. We may face grief, loss, depression, illness, menopause, or other challenges along the way. Yoga doesn’t mean we’re happy all the time—it’s a practice that gives us the strength and tools to live more fully, compassionately, and deeply, even through difficult times.
In recent years, I’ve placed greater emphasis on building strength, especially as we age. I don’t see ageing as a barrier, but as an opportunity to stay strong, active, and deeply connected to the body’s wisdom.
My classes & workshops can generally be found in & around the Beeston area or on Zoom.

TESTIMONIALS
“It took me 60 years to find some exercise I could take to. I started Yvonne’s class in October 2014 and absolutely love it! Obviously I am still very much a novice but I feel great since starting. Yvonne is really good as she takes things at your pace and gives modifications to poses to suit your anatomy. She definitely has a convert in me – it isn’t like an exercise class – it is so much more.”
Liz A
“I have been taking Yvonne’s yoga classes for nine months and have never felt better. Her experience as a nurse gives her very precise insights into the body – its musculature and the ways in which its various organs and tissues link up. Yet she is able to take her students into a deeper, more spiritual dimension, and the benefits for my emotional and mental health have been enormous. I would recommend her classes to anyone. Life-changing stuff.”
Graham C
“After years of trying different yoga classes and finding myself frustrated and unable to relax, I finally attended one of Yvonne’s evening classes. I was immediately taken in by the calm atmosphere Yvonne created and her extensive knowledge and care for her students. Yvonne is a very conscientious teacher, aware of the individual needs of every student in the class and supporting them where necessary. Her class is gentle but also allows you to challenge yourself if you wish to.”
