Patrick Mccleaf

Patrick came into the practice of Yoga through the doors of combat sports and exercise science.  After graduating from the University of Maryland with a degree in Kinesiology and pausing his passionate affair with mixed martial arts, Patrick moved to Washington, D.C. with his partner, Sara “Bear” Gruss.

In Washington, the doors of Yoga were blown wide open, as he was given the opportunity to  learn from some of the highest level teachers in the Ashtanga, Dharma, and Rocket yoga traditions.

Formally, Patrick has completed over 1500 hours of teacher training. He continues to find inspiration from his own practice, as well as from those in the broader yoga community. Patrick has travelled the world to teach Rocket yoga aside his mentor and friend, David C. Kyle. He’s taught internationally in places such as China, London, and Barcelona, and travels all across the continental United States to share these traditions.  Patrick’s classes will leave you with a sense of grounded steadiness and a smile. If you’re willing, he will take you beyond your current limitations.
