Our INSTRUCTORS

Marg Drudge

Studio Manager, E-RYT Instructor

I believe that the way we move matters... That our bodies benefit tremendously from the mindful shapes they are encouraged to take in a yoga practice. Since starting my yoga journey in 2008 I have explored many styles and teachings of yoga. My mat keeps bringing me back to asana (postures) that nourish and heal... bringing me back to mindful movement that respects our bodies. Join me on the mat where effort, ease, and fun bump into each other.

Maureen "Mo" Patterson

Instructor

I absolutely love teaching yoga. As a “well-seasoned” instructor, I strive to help others find what they’re seeking on their mat—whether it’s flexibility, strength, relaxation, self-understanding, calm, or something entirely their own. By creating thoughtful sequences grounded in a deep love of anatomy, my ultimate goal is to help students find greater ease in their daily lives. Warning: Mo’s classes have been known to cause maniacal grins and outbursts of laughter, resulting in an overall sense of joy.

Arthritis kicked in in her 30's and the discomfort and lack of range progressed through her 40's. Just when she thought it was a life long sentence she found yoga and Ellen at KIND. This yoga journey brought her to a state of optimal physical and mental health and inspired her to do more. Completing the KIND YTT, teaching in local studios and taking 150 more hours of accessible yoga training has prepared her to share this healing practice with the KIND community.

Ellen is a yoga studio owner, and mindfulness facilitator by trade, but her true calling lies in helping students discover what makes them come alive. Ellen helps students unearth a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in their day to day lives, ultimately driving them to to take their practice off of their mats and into the world. Her first yoga class was at age 14, when she realized that up until that first savasana, she had never felt truly relaxed. Ellen fell in love with the way it made her feel and was instantly hooked.
