Here’s 20 things about Patti Agatston, advocate and Sol Yoga Teacher:
- I will be married 35 years in October and have two adult sons.
- I asked my husband out on our first date. He said no! (He asked for a raincheck!)
- I had the school record for the fastest female 50 yard dash when I was in middle school. That was a LONG time ago!
- I graduated from FSU for undergrad.
- I grew up in South Carolina but have lived in Georgia for more than 30 years.
- When I was pregnant with my first son I was in a commercial for the Oprah Winfrey Show!
- Yoga both kept me sane and helped me grow during a very challenging time in my life. A big part of my journey was (and is) to detach and let go.
- I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor and believe that yoga is incredibly helpful for our mental health.
- I am a trainer in Restorative Practices – the restorative justice kind, not the restorative yoga kind! Although I love restorative yoga too.
- I had a room makeover on HGTV during their early days!
- I didn’t begin a regular yoga practice until I turned 50. (You are never too old!)
- I love to sing when I’m alone in the car. Sometimes I dance too!
- I’m a pescatarian (eat fish) but mostly vegetarian.
- I co-authored a book and a curriculum on cyberbullying prevention.
- I met Prince Carl Phillip and Princess Sofia of Sweden (because they were advocates for bullying prevention).
- My paternal grandfather lived to be 99 and my paternal grandmother lived to be 101 – here’s hoping!
- I have done one silent meditation retreat and hope to do many more.
- I just rescued my third dog (Daisy) from a shelter. Check back with me on how it’s going . . .
- I love hiking and am hoping to visit all of the national parks some day.
- Grand Teton National Park is my favorite – so far!
