Patrick Minassian

My journey into exploration of the human body and athleticism began at an early age while participating in junior swim leagues in London. Since then it has developed into many different areas of discipline. For the past 15 years I have been searching inward to deepen the connection of mind, body, and soul. Yoga has played a big role in guiding me on this adventurous path of self-awareness and self-acceptance. In 2010 it took me to Budapest, where I completed the 200hr teacher training certification by YogaWorks. Influenced by the teachings of Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Yin, my journey with yoga is continually evolving through playful exploration and integration of these traditions. Set to an eclectic mix of music, I develop my classes to steady the mind and stir the soul. To be challenging and yet playful for students of all levels.

I’m a passionate teacher—dedicated to making a difference in the lives of my students. Having lived in 3 countries at an early age, and traveled to many more since, I have a wide perspective and understanding of people and culture. My 10 years and over 8,000 hours of teaching experience in university classrooms has earned me the Outstanding Instructor Award numerous times, voted for by both my students and my colleagues.
