Hello, I’m Patience…

I’m a Voice, Yoga & Meditation Teacher based online & on Waiheke Island, and the Founder of the Yoga Hike Club.

Singing, Yoga & Meditation are responsible for some of the greatest changes in my own life that have enabled me to live a more present, mindful & empowered life - so I’m here to share these gifts with you!

Whether you are struggling with anxiety & stress, or simply want to feel better in your body, or maybe you’d like to fulfil a dream of learning to sing - I’m here to guide you as you come into your own power through sound, movement or meditation.

It’s my role to assist you as you start to discover your own voice, feel better in your body and help you to shift your own emotional state - using sound, mindfulness & movement techniques to help you move and sing with ease.

 

Drawing inspiration from yoga, meditation, breath-work & over fifteen years of voice training and experience as a professional vocalist; I developed a voice programme for ordinary people to help you find your voice, bring balance to your mind & feel more confident.

    Had my first lesson with Patience this week - sooo much fun! learnt some great trick to loosen up and centre myself, and to help with increasing my range, which is already helping me reach those higher notes.

    Highly recommended! And looking forward to more.

    Thanks so much!

    I began singing lessons with Patience several months ago. Patience has a comforting and friendly vibe which helps me to relax. I'm now confident to try new vocal skills without being afraid of making a mistake. Patience gives great non-judgemental feedback and allows me to learn at my own pace. I definitely recommend Patience as a vocal coach.

  • Wendy K.

    I've thoroughly enjoyed Patience's coaching - her manner is so encouraging, relaxed and fun but very professional! I've finally found 'my singing voice' and the confidence to sing on stage! Thanks Patience Scarles you have a natural talent for singing and coaching!

  • Dorothy H.

    I began lessons with Patience four weeks ago.  I was finding that my voice was hard for people to hear and I was losing confidence in myself to be able to sing…..anywhere, even in my home on my own.  Going to Patience was the best thing I have done.

    She has given me confidence! Such a big thing for me. The warm ups and exercises have made my voice stronger and more controlled and I can now sing my songs with confidence.

    Patience helped me free up my voice with our lessons! Very patient

    ;) and engaged teacher! Although voice is not my main instrument her lessons have ended up helping my pitch and airflow on my saxophone! Definitely recommend.

  • Alex P.

    Vocal lessons with Patience have been amazing! I’ve learnt so much about my voice and feel like I’m making lots of progress after only 2 lessons! Patience makes you feel super comfortable in her sessions and I’d gladly recommend her to anyone looking for vocal lessons. 

  • Rob M.

    Patience is a great teacher! I was brand new to singing and she took her time and didn't laugh at me once. Really knows her stuff and did wonders for my singing and also my confidence.

  • Felix B.

    Absolutely fantastic. Is open to conversation and finding out your style of learning while still keeping the lesson moving. Highlight for me was the really apparent experience. Every lesson I come away with a whole new way to think about singing and feel real improvement. Highly recommend if you've ever thought about singing and each lesson is worth it.

  • Anna K.

    Ahh what can I say. Was a super fun experience. Something I've wanted to do for ages, so glad for you appearing in lockdown Patience! You really helped me to center with your easy going presence and solid guidance and came away with some great tips. Loved hanging with you and your keyboard and my guitar and the cutey that is Caiden lapping up the musical love under the tree on our section. Fantastic moment. Hope to work with you again in the future. Xxx
