ABOUT ME

Patrick Beach is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, movement educator, and studio owner based in Seattle, Washington. Over the past 15 years, he has taught thousands of students across the globe - leading workshops, retreats, and teacher training programs on nearly every continent. He is the creator of Awakening Yoga and the co-founder of Commune Yoga and Wellness, a studio in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle, which he has owned and operated for 8 years.

The Practice

Patrick's approach bridges the principles of traditional yoga with modern methods of movement - honoring where the practice comes from while staying curious about what contemporary understanding of the body continues to teach us. His system, Awakening Yoga, is a dynamic and fluid vinyasa-based practice that builds strength, develops flexibility, and encourages playful, creative expression. It goes beyond physical alignment to guide students into a deeper relationship with themselves through breath, awareness, and self-study.

Whether you are stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening an existing practice, Patrick's teaching meets you where you are and invites you to move beyond the formation of shapes and into genuine embodied awareness.
