What is "Top Gallant"
In the nautical terms, a Top Gallant is a sail on a mast above the topsail. William Shakespeare refers to the Top Gallant as being the top most point “Which to the high Top Gallant of my joy.” ‑ Shakespeare RJ ii.iv.186
Top Gallant Yoga is located at Top Gallant Farms. We merged the Yoga studio into the sacred space of our new farm-home. The Top Gallant name pays homage to Patricia’s father Big Jake, a merchant marine, who formed the Top Gallant Group Inc. over 35 years ago.
This rare gem of a sanctuary is located less than 5 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Target, Publix and Mobil on US 441 / SR 7 yet tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac.
Simply by virtue of spending time here in nature, you can reawaken nature within you and replenish depleted energy. Surrounded by majestic horses, mini ponies, peacocks, wild parrots and amidst the mighty banyan, various palm, mahogany, jackfruit, and mango trees, your internal compass may reset to its own natural intelligent awareness. Come experience for yourself the healing power of serene nature as you connect your mind, body and spirit at Top Gallant.
Meet the Team
Patricia Boekhout
RYT-500, YACEP
From her 1st Yoga class in college, Patricia understood that "Yoga is good for you" physically. As a young mother living in Warsaw, a practitioner introduced her to meditation as a tool to manage anxiety. Years later in Mexico, she found the practice of Yoga a body of poetry, much like the joys and challenges of raising her 4 children. Returning to the Netherlands and healing from a physical setback, she was taught Yogic breath work. Once non-dual Yogic philosophy fell into place in Germany, it allowed her to fully embody Yoga as she does today.
After 28 years of living abroad, Patricia moved to Florida and opened Top Gallant Yoga (formerly Boynton Yoga Wellness). She focuses on Anusara-inspired alignment principles, poses, meditation, breath work and Vedic philosophy.
She remains indebted to all of her Yoga teachers and also those soul mentors who helped her open to grace. Patricia's enthusiasm and passion guide her students throughout safe and fun classes all with a wide smile, dimples and a twinkle in her eye.
Patricia teaches Private Yoga sessions and group classes: Gentle Yoga, Yoga Fitness with Weights, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga.
