Patience Armstrong is the founder and owner of the Artful Heart Yoga Studio and the North Raleigh
School of Yoga. She is a Certified Anusara Yoga teacher and a Yoga Alliance registered teacher at the E-RYT500 level. Patience has spent over
600 hours studying directly with John Friend, Anusara’s founder, and was given the unique privilege of being mentored by him individually
through her certification process, for which she will always be grateful. In addition, she has taken a full year to study and practice meditation
with Paul Muller Ortega PhD, renowned tantric philosophy scholar. Her artistic nature is drawn to the creative and elegant quality of yoga
postures while her analytical side loves solving the puzzle of yoga therapy. For Patience, the physical practice didn’t come easily however,
the spiritual and emotional benefits of yoga were immediate and deep. One of the many things she appreciates about Anusara yoga is that it
respects individuality while it supports community. Patience’s teaching emphasizes self-honoring, loving-kindness and aspiring to the highest
that is within each of us. |
