QUIERO: Mental Health PART 1! {ft. Patricia Pinto, How Yoga Helped Her Heal Through 9/11 Trauma}

Quiero the Show

Welcome to QUIERO! A show about LatinX who want it all. If you follow me on social media, you know that I am extremely passionate about dismantling stigma surrounding mental health, especially in our community. Since it's #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, I wanted to dedicate this final episode to doing just that. Welcome to Part I! Our guest today is Patricia Pinto: Living in NYC since 2001, I found yoga as a September 11 survivor as a form to relieve the post traumatic symptoms of the catastrophic events of this day. I began teaching yoga in 2008 after completing a Baron Baptiste based Power Yoga training in NYC while studying Art History at Hunter College and working in prominent art galleries. In 2010, I added a more meditation based approach to yoga through completing the Conquering Lion Teacher Training with Kelly Morris, which she later assisted as a mentor, and has studied Kundalini yoga under Hari Kaur, Astanga yoga with David Williams in Hawaii, and under Schuyler Grant at Kula Yoga. She is also certified to teach Pilates, a modality she enjoys due to its therapeutic approach to strengthening, which is a core to her teaching style.
