Hannah Patterson, Yoga & Meditation

Hannah is a magical teacher focused on spiritual growth through meditation and yoga practice.

You can expect guidance and gentle corrections that will help you explore the journey to find more compassion on and off your mat. Hannah’s studies are rooted in Buddhist philosophy and shares that with others with the hope we can extend love to ourselves and others, widening our circle of compassion with each practice.

Warm and welcoming, her classes focus on connection and community. Those connections extend outside of class where she is an active participant in conscious, living communities. You can often find her engaging in forms of play like acro, dancing, flow arts, and more.

Hannah has always had a love for teaching and started teaching cosmetology in 2017. Sharing knowledge with others has always felt like her calling. In 2017 she also visited Magnolia Grove Monastery and began to use the meditation techniques she learned there to assist in guiding students. Later, after attending yoga classes in Birmingham, she set out to become certified in yoga to spread the teachings of mindfulness and meditation.

She completed her 200 hour training with HereNowYoga in 2019, Acro Love certification in 2021, and is currently enrolled in Chromatic 300 hour yoga training to continue deepening her knowledge for her students.
