Lynda
found yoga over 10 years ago while trying to find a way to keep her body healthy, balanced, and injury free for her career as a professional dancer. She discovered that yoga not only helped her body but greatly improved the quality of her mind and spirit. Her passion for yoga grew and lead to do her certification with Prana Yoga Teacher's college and a Pre-natal certification with Yogaworks. She continued her studies with Jason Brown to deepen her understanding of anatomy and Zen practices.
Lynda is truly honored and excited to be apart of the Zenyasa sangha. In her classes, she strives to create a safe space to help all students find ease, strength, and connection in body, mind, and spirit with her positive and down to earth presence.
