Platty Patel
Heartfulness Coach

I grew up in India and had the privilege of attending one of the finest schools during my formative years. Cedar Hill Prep reminds me of that school. Intuitive by nature, when I first came to Cedar Hill Prep, it felt like life had come full circle. What I had received and carried with me for so long, life gave me the opportunity to pass along to other students.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and an AA in Paralegal Studies. My love for education came from being a mother and walking hand-in-hand with my children’s teachers. I love teaching early education because I am responsible for their first straight line and many other “firsts” they will encounter throughout their academic experience. I have been an avid yoga and mindfulness/meditation practitioner for many years. I have attended numerous workshops and retreats that have helped me evolve as both a person and a teacher.
This year, CHP introduced a program called “Heartfulness.” It focuses on contentment, calmness, compassion, courage, and clarity—qualities that are innate to human nature. Teaching Heartfulness and Mindfulness brings me immense joy as students discover stillness in their mind and body. I hope to impart the lessons I received from my teachers and my children’s teachers. It’s not just about learning; it’s about discipline, integrity, and perseverance in becoming a good human being. A child’s life is like a piece of paper, and every person leaves their mark. My passions include reading, meditating, practicing yoga, and exercising—all of which contribute to the well-being of the mind, body, and spirit. I hope we can leave the world a better place for generations to come.
