Summary

Section titled “Summary”

Patrick’s essay on traveling for yoga, centered on visits to Rome and Hamburg. The piece includes location photographs from both cities. The article is accompanied by a bio text written by Satoko Horie and a sidebar advertisement for the 2011 International Teacher Training (ITT) — placing this article in the promotional context for YogaJaya’s teacher training program.

Key Facts

Section titled “Key Facts”
  • Rome and Hamburg locations — confirms Patrick’s European workshop circuit in 2010; this aligns with the D01 (Yoga Aktuell, Feb 2011) German tour, which visited Berlin, Essen, Zürich, Salzburg, and Hamburg
  • Bio by Satoko — Satoko authored Patrick’s biographical text for this piece, continuing her pattern as the editorial intermediary in YogaJaya’s media output
  • 2011 ITT advertisement — the ITT (International Teacher Training / International Intensive Teacher Training) was YogaJaya’s flagship program; placing an ITT ad alongside Patrick’s travel essay positions the essay as both editorial and promotional content
  • Yoga Yomu — a yoga-specific Japanese publication, distinct from the broader lifestyle press (Veggy, Yogini). This placement confirms YogaJaya’s coverage in the specialist yoga media as well as the mainstream press
