Author Biography

Patty Wildasinn lives in Southern California with her husband and two adult children. Her son, Kaler, who was diagnosed early in his life with Autism and an overgrowth disorder called Soto's Syndrome, has been a driving force in her personal journey and an inspiration for teaching yoga to special populations. Patty is a Level Two certified Kundalini Yoga teacher and has taught yoga to all levels and abilities. She loves working with non-typical yogis, seniors, and kids with special needs, which fueled her passion and commitment to make yoga accessible to everyone through acceptance, modification, and choices. Prior to teaching yoga, she was a counselor by profession working primarily with people in chemical dependency rehabilitation facilities. Her background in human development and helping others to succeed carries over naturally into her teaching and writing. In the beginning of her yoga journey, Patty was given the spiritual name of Patwant Kaur. The destiny provided by the name translates as "The Princess Who is the Keeper of the Honor." Patty is honored to maintain, expand, and share life and the yogic teachings with extraordinary groups of people.
