Jill Patterson
I’m a facilitator in a range of different spaces. I'm passionate about people moving through transformative experiences to be proud of who they are and discovering how they can make a positive difference in the world.
This includes being a yoga teacher who shows up for students every week to explore an embodied practice together with the aim of cultivating greater awareness and acceptance of human nature. My working week also involves bringing my expertise to trauma-informed environments where I support and empower people who have gone through difficult life experiences to refind their connection with themselves, to be able to navigate their world with greater ease.
Testimonials
‘What a lovely experience it was to be taught by Norman. He has a wonderful combination of breadth of knowledge and skill, a deep care for his students and an ability to bring a wonderful sense of fun to what he teaches. Our group really bonded, and right from the start the beautifully supportive environment provided a frame from which new skills were able to be learnt and dived into. I ended the course feeling both enriched and confident in my ability to take the Yin teaching out into the world and really connected to my fellow course-members. We've kept a regular practice group going and enjoy meeting monthly on Zoom, which has been incredibly valuable. If you're considering doing the Yin teacher training with Norman I would say to go for it. It's a much-needed modality in the world just now and your nervous system will probably thank you for diving deeper into your Yin practice too!’
“Great teacher - so great to be treated like adults and to be welcomed into his home studio…very grateful for the experience."
“I loved the honesty and the style of teaching. Brilliant course. I have learnt so much and not entirely what I expected to learn. I will highly recommend this course to anyone I know interested in Yin yoga or who wants to discover / learn / explore about themselves and their body.
“Very deep, nourishing, professional and fun. Challenging but safe and friendly. Loved it."
“Fun, insightful, humble, kind and supportive. The week was like reading a great novel, it took me on a journey within and as the last pages were read, a feeling of completeness and sadness that it was over.”
“Wonderfully balanced, educative experience held safely and warmly.”
“Very welcoming, approachable, real tuition. I love that Norman was so humble and human. I have never felt so comfortable about my body and its limits in a yoga class. This felt like teaching was genuine and from the heart not an ego boost or a money making event.”
“Empowering, stimulating, inspirational. Approachable, amusing, knowledgeable, inspires confidence.”
“Very well planned course that covered a huge amount in the five days. Norman was open and wonderful from day one. He has really opened my eyes up to the world of Yin.”
