YOGA teacher Patricia Fox

I discovered Yoga at the age of 45. It changed my focus and totally captured my interest. The study has become a passion and a way of life. 2 years later I began teaching Yoga.

I have studied exclusively with Iyengar Yoga teachers, and have traveled and studied in India with the Iyengar family several times.The journeys also afforded opportunities to visit sacred sites to the North and South of India which enhanced my appreciation of the Yoga way.

In 2006 I opened my own studio in Bass Harbor ,a quietside fishing village on Mount Dessert Island, Maine. It is a small, friendly, well-equipped space with vaulted ceiling, many windows, and a wonderful floor.

Classes are sensitive to the individual needs of the students. The sequences can be stimulating, relaxing, and challenging, and most definitely open up new vistas.

Bodyworker / Patricia Fox

I began my studies of Polarity Therapy in New York City in 2001 just after the World Trade Center disaster. I completed the training and earned RPP Certification in 2004.

Having moved to Maine at the end of 2004 I began a study of Structural Integration ( a bodywork pioneered by Ida Rolf ). My teacher, Tom Myers a native of Damariscotta, ME is famous world wide for his dynamic style and knowledge of anatomy. I became a certified practitioner of ATSI (Anatomy Trains Structural Integration) in 2008 and later became board certified by IASI, the International Association of Structural Integration.

I pursue continuing education with the Barral Institute, created by a group of French Osteopaths who come to the USA and have trained teachers here in their method. I have also studied Craniosacral work with Energy Arts in NYC and the Upledger Institute.

I have a partner Charles Rasmussen, two daughters, and three grandsons very close to my heart. Hiking and swimming are my passions and I love growing food and flowers. I appreciate the closeness to nature that life on Mount Desert Island offers.
