Ep. 20: How to get Spiritually Fit with Intensati Creator and Motivational Speaker Patricia Moreno
There are moments in life the Universe sends you signs. It sends you what you need, it knows whom you’re supposed to meet, it tells you where you ought to be. It is up to you to see it, to keep an open mind and open heart to realize the Universe is speaking to you.
You might think I’m being woohoo or a bit over dramatic here. But walking into the IntenSati yoga class of Patricia Moreno 6 years ago was the Universe telling me “take a look at this”.
I had brought my life to a breaking point with fear and shame being the driving forces. Feeling victimized, enraged, feeling at a loss ready to throw everything away, my marriage, my family life, my life in New York.
Experiencing the overflow of positivity yet empathy in Patricia’s class was opening a crack the door to spirituality in my life. I knew nothing about yoga, about affirmations, about visualizations, about talking to and seeing myself.
Patricia’s relationship with her tall body and fluctuating weight was directly linked to her self-worth which also brought her to experience a breaking point herself. Thankfully, this was the beginning of IntenSati.
She calls her work Spiritual Fitness. Take an IntenSati class and you will not come out the same on the other side. It’s reminding yourself over and over that you possess all the attributes to make a positive change. It’s a workout for the mind that demands practice and repetition. She makes a point to challenge the mind as much as the muscles, allowing the body to take space and move with gratitude.
Patricia is of latin-american decent and is one of 10 children.
She and her partner have three children, one daughter and twins, born 18 months apart. Just like my children :-)
Patricia is an entrepreneur with a vision, on a mission. Her training program and her classes have all gone digital during 2020 confinement. Her pivot from in-person to virtual has amassed huge success, bringing in new IntenSati leaders and users from all over the world.
Her career in the fitness industry spans 30 years and includes a national TV show, several training DVD’s (remember those!?) and digital programs, sponsorships by Nike and Reebok and hundreds of hours in-person teaching.
Her career as a motivational speaker is on the rise and there is much more to come from this multi-talented teacher.
