My name is Nya Patrinos. Nya means guide in Sanskrit, It comes from the verb ni which means to lead or guide. My life purpose is to act as a guide for myself and others to use art and yoga for healing and transformation. This is one of my favorite paintings I have made about the fusion of Yoga and Art.
I grew up in a political active mixed race household. My parents are black and white and Christian and Jewish. I never felt like I fit in anywhere. My feelings of being an outsider led me to art and writing as vehicles for self comfort.
I was a competitive athlete from the age of 6. At 30 my body started to fall a part. I began practicing yoga seriously as a way to heal chronic knee pain after all else failed. But yoga is now much more to me than a pain management strategy it is a way of life.
I have a BA in Environmental Design and a MFA in Scenic Design. I have worked most of my adult life as a designer. Yoga wise, I have certifications in Therapeutic Vinyasa , Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra. I take yoga class about 5 times a week and I am devoted to a hot yoga.
I am very interested in the fusion of art and yoga. I studied the combination of these disciples at AyurYoga Eco Ashram in Kerala India and Otis College of Art. I have taught several workshops at my yoga studio, The Yogi Tree under the title Art/Yoga Fusion. I enrolled in A4AP to develop my skills as an art yoga teacher.
My career goal is to work full time as a Yoga Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Artist and Transformative Art Teacher. I would like to work with people with both physical and emotional challenges. I would like to write some books (Stretching the Emotional Body, Nyasa Yoga Nidra, 5 Element Yin, Yin Yoga for the Chakras), lead teacher trainings, travel and teach and have a steady lucrative practice in Los Angeles. I also want to learn Sanskrit and spend a few months at Santosh Puri Ashram in India which is a center of Art and Yoga.
