About Patrick
I have been working with my body across a variety of different disciplines and circumstances since childhood. I did various competitive sports throughout my life with a focus on body conditioning and nutrition.
I have dedicated 4 decades to physical training/education, nutrition, martial arts, yoga, meditation, and other contemplative practices, and I'm the founder of the Baseworks Method.
I’ve lived in Asia for over 30 years, having been directly exposed to various Buddhist practices, yoga, martial arts, and eastern philosophy.
My introduction to yoga was through East Indian teachers and immersive study in the Sivananda, Bihar, Ashtanga Vinyasa, and Iyengar schools of modern yoga.
Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Laotian, Burmese, and Indonesian teachers introduced me to martial arts and meditation.
In 2003, I founded YogaJaya studio in Tokyo, Japan. The studio served the community in Asia with over 30,000 classes to a collective attendance of 500,000 students, delivering over 500 specialized workshops and events to date. From the start of Covid in the spring of 2020, YogaJaya suspended all daily in-person public classes and transitioned to a hybrid in-person/virtual/online education model.
I am a Yoga Alliance 500-hour experienced accredited teacher (ERYT500), teacher trainer, and personal trainer. I have a personal record of training over 10,000 students across 30,000 hours in 15 countries since the 90s.
I've trained a wide scope of students ranging from those completely new to any kind of physical and metaphysical training to professional athletes & dancers, health wellness & fitness sector instructors, health care professionals, and medical doctors.
I LOVE teaching and desire to make my unique expertise and skillset accessible to as many interested people as possible.
I am currently based between Canada, Europe, and Asia and serve long-time students and clients in person and virtually on 6 continents.

The structure of these Yoga sessions is for people eager to learn about the movements associated with yoga to develop a deep and sustainably practical understanding to progress with.
The yoga philosophy is vast, and there are many different opinions about how to approach the practice.
These sessions focus first on the following cornerstone concepts of my approach to teaching yoga as a type of movement education:
- analyzing your physical condition as it is now.
- understanding how the intent toward practice directly affects the outcome.
- establish what is uniquely right for you and your learning objectives.
Sessions are open to anyone at any level of health wanting to develop a more intimate understanding of your body and what it can do and how that will directly affect the quality of your life.
In your first free session, we can go over what your objectives are and determine if what I can offer could be a good fit.

Patrick is a great movement teacher who can offer something to both complete beginners and experienced movement practitioners.
In his sessions, Patrick redefines both physical education and what it means to be a teacher. Sessions with him are often so full of humor and stand-up comedy that you feel better just from that alone. No two sessions led by him are ever the same.
He has a profound grasp of every student's immediate physical and mental condition and needs and provides deeply personalized guidance and support.
As a trainer, Patrick knows how to bring you from point A to point B, then to point C, and so on. And at the same time, he also makes you realize that the alphabet of physical development is infinite and non-linear. Training with him makes you more accepting of your current level and state – which is an indispensable skill/mental quality in the fast-paced competitive world most of us live in. He also helps clarify the steps to progress and define realistically attainable and sustainable goals so you can actually feel the progress.
His views on "limitations" and how to approach them are truly revolutionary in the current health & fitness industry climate, and a lot of what he teaches transcends the boundaries of physical fitness.
Patrick is extremely kind, and, both as a teacher and an entrepreneur, he is really committed to helping people. And in a situation where he knows more than you about what you actually need, he usually does not give up when at first, you cannot understand why you need what he is trying to give you. This is a unique quality that people make movies about, and that you will not typically find in your average fitness instructor. Patrick is an inexhaustible source of energy, inspiration, and learning. And one can only hope to meet an instructor like him in their lifetime.
Patrick is among the most creative and lateral-thinking people I have ever met. From the perspective of systems design, his method is pure beauty. It is both a physical and intellectual pleasure to explore his method.
Also, Patrick has an excellent aesthetic / design scene. And I know some people may think – why is this even important for a "fitness trainer." But as a neuroscientist really interested in the relationship between motor and non-motor functions, I find that such a question itself highlights that most fitness/exercise systems are only targeting the muscles doing very little to one's perception, undermining the true potential of what one can get from a physical practice. In Patrick's reality, and in the reality of those who have consistently practiced with him, the physicality of movement, the altered perception of space developed from the physical practice, spills into how one sees spatial relationships between objects and, put simply, improves one's design skills as well.
I could literally write a collection of essays about Patrick, but perhaps it's better for anyone interested in better understanding their body just to go and try his sessions to see for themselves.As a movement educator, Patrick excels in his ability to teach/guide from a place of compassionate understanding of each individual practitioner, with long term sustainability in mind.
His excellence stems from an exquisite combination of dedication in working on the self (from physical, mental, to psychological), experimenting all facets of modalities in relation to this, unbiased genuine curiosity for everything, astonishing humbleness and resilience to challenge, deep empathy that comes from a place of love for learning, combined with relentless stamina to not give up.
Sessions with him are often an eclectic combination of shedding light to what intuitively makes sense yet somehow we have lost touch with, together with new insightful concepts based on current scientific research, full of perception shifting ideas, inviting the practitioner to enthusiastically challenge their capacity in all facets of life.
Having him as a teacher, mentor, guide has and continues to leave me with multiple layers of ripple effect that extends beyond the physical.View more recommendations
