In Memory

Dear IYA Members,

It is with huge sadness that we advise of the passing from this physical realm of Patty Anderson on the 9th February 2022.

So many of us will have fond memories of Patty’s inspiring, wise and witty contributions to the IYA. Her love of yoga, her teaching, her tutoring and her music has filtered through the organisation and will continue to inspire us all. Our deepest sympathies are extended to the Anderson family and her friends, on their sad loss. “Patty your wisdom will live on in us”.

Details of Patty’s funeral mass are available on www.rip.ie and there is a live stream link for those who wish to be there in spirit.

Om shanti, shanti, shanti.

Yours in Yoga

Sorry to hear of your good friend Patty. I met her in your yoga space Gabi, which I knew she loved going too. Thanks for sharing the link for tomorrow. I will watch and light a candle for her and her family and all who loved her. Jacinta.xx

Thank you for sharing the sad news Gabi. RIP Pattie. Forever fond happy memories of her….an absolute delight. Kay O’Niel
Thanks very much for messaging Gabi. Patty was one of the special ones – may she rest in peace. She touched us all with her honest presence and beautiful heart. Patty’s sensitivity to energy was truly a gift & made her Cranio Sacral therapy practice a unique experience , which brought healing to the many who went to her for Cranio Sacral. I will miss her physical presence around but have been enriched by knowing her through yoga & her sharing. Brigid Power

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Patty’s passing. She was a lovely person and I have great memories of her playing music at the sessions on the residential weekends. She will be very sadly missed by all. May she rest in peace. Sandra Wrafter
