Life & Lifestyle
BEHIND THE CHILDS POSE
Patricia Adina Orshan was born in the tiny town of Cheyene Wells, Colorado. Growing up on a ranch and being the eldest of 5 kids, Patricia had immense responsibilities from the get go. Patricia was an avid reader and initially learned the art and practice of yoga through books. Teaching herself at a young age, Patricia started to use the practice in her everyday life.
Patricia now has 3 children, Eden, Reuben, and Renee Orshan. She resides in Glen Cove, New York with her husband Peter Orshan. Patricia trained with YogaWorks and is a certified Yoga Alliance instructor. You can find her teaching her classes at the Life Enrichment studio in Oyster Bay, NY. She also does private lessons at her private studio or in the comfort of your own home.
Patricia recently decided to dive deeper into the mind- body awareness and received her Masters degree in Counseling Psychology w/ a specialization in Somatic Psychology from Prescott College, Prescott, Arizona. She integrates yoga with therapy, to holistically enhance mind-body awareness and wellness. "As an integrative therapist, I am interested in practicing classic therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), that are integrated within research-supported yoga and meditation techniques. This work may also include visual arts and writing exercises. Older adults and/or cancer patients are populations of interest."
When Patricia is not doing yoga you can find her doing watercolor & oil paintings (which you can also view/purchase on this site.) She strongly recommends maintaining a healthy lifestyle, advising choosing organic foods when possible, eating lots of fruits and vegetables and regularly practicing yoga. Sleep is also a serious subject and Patricia has much to say about sleep hygiene as a form of self-care. For more information about Patricia or to set up an appointment you can email/call:
