Eileen Patzig
Eileen Patzig
Eileen & Rob have been partners in life and in yoga since 2006. We met when Rob attended one of Eileen's vinyasa classes back in 2003. The more we practiced together, the more we found how well suited to each other we were. One thing led to another, and we married in 2009. Life has been a rain of blessings ever since!

You can find her books and articles on her website and her blogs at the Ecological Citizen.
“Eileen’s teaching style is creative and nuanced. She is passionate about sharing breathing practices and incredible, unusual sequencing steeped in classical tradition. I particularly enjoy her commitment to her own practices and devotion to her craft. ”
