Since childhood, Patrick has had a fascination with the discipline of the physical body and its effects on emotion and feelings. His physical training began at the age of 15 when he was introduced to Wing Chun Kung Fu and Chinese Kickboxing in his home country Switzerland. He dedicated the next 16 years to perfecting this art until in 2004, on language course in Christchurch, NZ, he came in contact with yoga for the first time. Thus started his love for yoga. Upon returning to Switzerland, he started practicing with Felix Schaerer, one of the first Swiss Jivamukti Yoga teachers. Captivated by this method, Patrick decided to deepen his knowledge in Yoga. In December 2007, he completed the Jivamukti teacher training led by Patrick Broom and Yogeswari in Berlin. He taught for two years in Switzerland while simultaneously working as product manager. During this time he also became certified in Thai Massage. In March of this year, Patrick felt compelled to fully dedicate his time to teaching yoga. He moved to London and completed an apprenticeship under Durga Devi in 2009.
Patrick is deeply grateful to all his masters and teachers for their patience and love over the years. He would like to highlight his deep respect and gratitude for his Si – Gung Lok Yiu, Si – Gung Wilhelm Blech, Si – Fu Peter Steiner and beloved yoga teachers David, Sharon, Yogeswari and Durga.
Through these transformational teachings he will always feel deeply unified
