Patricia Wickman – School Director and Head Teacher

Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, Registered Yoga Teacher, Certified Panchakarma Therapist and owner of the Radiant Living Online School of Ayurveda Greetings! My name is Patricia Wickman. I studied Ayurveda for three years (1,498 hours) at the Kanyakumari Ayurveda and Wellness Center in Milwaukee. I did yoga teacher training at the 250-hour level at the Soma Yoga Studio in Salt Lake City. I have been teaching yoga for ten years and have been an Ayurvedic Practitioner for six years. I’ve worked privately with over 350 clients providing them with Ayurvedic consultations, at-home cleansing and rejuvenating programs, private therapeutic yoga lessons and Ayurvedic body therapies. I have guided over thirty people through full panchakarma. I have been a solo and creative entrepreneur since I started my first babysitting and house cleaning business when I was twelve years old. I enjoy teaching others how to start, market and run their own businesses. I am the founder, director and principle instructor for the Radiant Living Online School of Ayurveda. I have a degree in French and taught it for six years in two universities and various elementary and middle schools. My creativity and passion for teaching shines through–whether it is in my work with private clients, in my yoga classes or in my online school. I delight in sharing the knowledge and wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda! I grew up in Colorado, but have traveled and lived all over the world. I speak French, Portuguese and Spanish. I currently live in San Antonio, TX with my husband and two kids.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term, made up of the words ‘ayus’ and ‘veda’. ‘Ayus’ means life and ‘Veda’ means knowledge or science. Ayurveda has been practiced in India for over 6,000 years and it is the mother of all modern holistic practices.

It is distinct from Western medicine in its focus on prevention of disease. In addition, practicing Ayurveda will pluck the root out of illness rather than simply treating its symptoms. Practitioners of Ayurveda recognize the interwoven nature of the spirit and mind with the body. An Ayurvedic lifestyle integrates nutrition and exercise with mind and spirit–centered therapies. In this tradition, humans are viewed as apart of nature.

Health shines brightly in the person who places him or herself in harmony with all life.
