Coleen Patterson

Biography

I have been an instructor at Modesto Junior College since 2002.  I was the Ballet instructor here for 17 years.  About ten years ago I took the leap over to the PRHE department and started my journey as a Yoga instructor.  I also teach Walk/Jog for Improved Fitness.

Yoga and Walk/Jog courses welcome every body - young, old, active, sedentary, healthy, or a bit run down from life... everyone!  I am excited to present both Yoga and Walk/Jog for Improved Fitness in the virtual world.  This venue allows students the opportunity to participate despite having challenging schedules.  It offers a bit of flexibility for those juggling school, family, work, and maybe even a social life.  

I hold a B.A. and an MFA in Dance Education, both from UC Irvine.  I have spent my life in the dance world as a professional dancer, choreographer, teacher, and coach.  I completed a 200-hour Yoga teacher certification course some years ago, but I do continue to train and learn.  I have always loved education.  I always loved being a student.  And I love teaching! 

I look forward to meeting you either on the mat or in your athletic shoes ready to improve our health!
