Testimonials From Yogis

"Patricia Diaz is a wonderful yoga instructor. I started yoga about a year ago and consider myself a novice. Patricia Diaz always makes me feel welcome in her classes. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the practice of yoga. She takes the time to assist every student in her class. Since I started practicing with Patricia, I have gained a much deeper understanding of the art of yoga. After taking her class I always feel energized and renewed!"

"I have been attending Patricia's classes for about a year now, and have found them to be an amazing way to start the day. I'm not an early riser and never thought I'd be heading to the studio for a 6:00AM class, but it is completely worth it. Patricia has the most soothing voice and positive energy, and I always leave her class feeling refreshed and energized, mentally and physically. "

PRETTY GIRLS DON’T GET CANCER
At age sixteen M. Patricia Diaz was diagnosed with a stage four terminal cancer. Back then, over thirty years ago, she lived in Maracaibo, Venezuela. In this memoir, M. Patricia revisits this harrowed chapter of her life. This true story of generosity, forgiveness, and growth is depicted with broad brushstrokes of Latin American cultural colors. Healing physically, against all medical predictions, was only the beginning of the story.

"Honest, Readable, Compassionate, Informative. This book held my interest from the first to last page. If the author hadn't said so, I never would have suspected that English is her second language. Her writing moves the story along. The book is about the author's harrowing encounter with cancer and much more. You'll read about a love story, a family story, a portrait of a foreign country/ culture and much more. You'll find inspiration and deep knowledge about healing both for the seriously ill and for all of us in our daily lives. Patricia Diaz is unstintingly honest and generous in what she shares with us about her experience. I highly recommend this book."

"Raw, honest, and inspirational! What I loved about this book is that it feels as though the author is sitting in the same room as you sharing her life story ... very conversational, very honest. Maria Patricia shares what she went through as a teen diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, the way in which she was healed, how that impacted her entire life, and impacts the choices she makes even today. This is a great read for anyone who enjoys getting caught up in a true story and who is inspired by the resiliency of the human spirit."

"I was so touched by this true story of a courageous young woman's teenage years. I feel like I now almost know her family and friends, that she is my friend, and that I too experienced some healing just by going on the journey of reading all that she went through. Her message is also valuable because, although I lost my birth mother to cancer when I was a baby, I haven't been up close and personal with someone who has been through a cancer journey. I feel more prepared to be supportive and have learned how important it is to respect choices. And if I should ever have to go through this myself, I have learned to stay open and to persevere and that the most important journey is the one to self-acceptance and love."
