| Pamela Bliss, owner and founder of YogAsylum, began her yogic
journey with a 200-hour certification program at Integrative Yoga
Therapy. Each year she returns to Estes Park, CO to participate
in the Annual Yoga Journal Conference for continuing education.
There she has studied under the guidance of teachers Rodney Yee,
Mary Dunn, Elsie Browning Miller, Barbara Benagh, Ana Forrest, and
Aadil Palkhivala. She has also done workshops with Gary Kraftsow,
Todd Norian and Daren Friesen. Pamela is a certified Reiki practitioner.
Pam taught corporate yoga for companies such as Harley-Davidson
Motor Company for over a year before opening YogAsylum. She regularly
presents workshops to a number of area schools, and public events
for the American CA Society, The Women’s Expo and regional
health fairs. Her story aired on the Fox News Network locally and
nationally. Her inspiring work had also landed features in The Wisconsin
Business Journal, The Waukesha Freeman, Lifestyle West Magazine
and The Brookfield News. Pamela has made public appearances as a
representative for GAIAM International and Yoga Journal. She is
a regular guest lecturer at Mt. Mary College in Milwaukee.
Pamela is a graduate of Carroll College, receiving a Bachelor of
Science in Nursing in 1994. As a Registered Nurse, she practiced
bedside patient care for over eight years in the hospital setting
of which her last three years were dedicated to the Intensive Care
Unit. She practiced in a multitude of areas within the health care
field for a total of 12 years. Her passion for enhancing people’s
lives continues as she currently pursues a Masters of Arts in Transpersonal
Psychology and Ecopsychology at Naropa University in Boulder, CO.
Most importantly, she claims to be "the luckiest mommy in
the world" referring to her son Brandon. "He inspires
me in everything that I do, he's an amazing little boy." "I
teach him that you must be the change you wish to see in the world
(a quote from Gandhi) and my hope is that I demonstrate this to
him, not by my words, but by my actions."
As an instructor, she offers a warm and eclectic style, focusing
her methods on the therapeutic aspects of the yoga practice. Her
down-to-earth style and sense of humor make this ancient healing
art readily accessible to everyone. |
