GENTLE YOGA – LINDA

Class Description
Gentle yoga classes are a perfect introduction to yoga and great for students who want
minimal intensity in the practice. A slow, gentle pace allows time to learn the
foundational poses and to understand modifications, moving with breath, and how to
use props to support the body. With an emphasis on linking movement with slow,
rhythmic breath, we can better understand our own bodies and move away from the
busy, fast pace of our lives and into a space that is quiet, mindful and conscious. This
practice is the perfect way to de-stress and rejuvenate the body while still building basic
strength and flexibility in a nurturing and supportive environment.

Meet Linda
In 2006, overcoming breast cancer, Linda felt disconnected from her mind, body and
spirit after going through chemotherapy, radiation and several reconstruction surgeries.
She needed a way to reconnect, to feel balanced and whole again. Her wise mom
suggested yoga. Linda took her first class with her daughter Emily who was a huge help
to her during recovery. Linda was instantly hooked and inspired after her first class and
knew from within that she had found her way.

She practiced yoga consistently for a year realizing that she now had a life long path
that she could commit to. She felt much less stress from everyday encounters and a
stronger passion for life. Linda was encouraged by her Yoga teachers to pursue teacher
training. In 2014, through the loving support of her husband Jon and her kids, Linda
completed her 200 hour teacher training. She started teaching Gentle yoga that same
year. In 2016, she completed her 500 hour teacher training. Adding to the list of styles
of yoga to teach, Linda has certificates to teach Lakshmi Voelker chair yoga, Yin,
Meditation, Restorative, Prenatal and Yin w/Sound Meditation. Linda’s goal is to
continue to grow and learn all there is to know about yoga and inspire students to
practice with her.
