Bio
Teaching for 30+ years, Lyn was the first to bring Power Yoga to the area. Including Ridgefield, CT. Beginning in Westchester County, her teaching quickly expanded into Putnam and Fairfield Counties.
Lyn has a background in ballet and jazz dance. Her personal yoga practice began at home with Iyengar's Light On Yoga book, and eventually the discovery of Ashtanga yoga.
She has had the privilege of studying with David Swenson and Beryl Bender Birch during the early days of her practice. To this day, both her practice and teaching are grounded in the foundational elements of an Ashtanga practice.
Her experience with power vinyasa yoga began with Bryan Kest and Baron Baptiste. They both have been a guiding force behind her teaching.
Lyn has a unique ability to guide students of all levels to their edge while being in tune with their individual needs. Clarifying that sometimes being at your edge means backing off not pushing ahead. Lyn encourages her students to focus on the process, not the outcome. She believes in not just giving students what they want, but more importantly, inspiring them to discover what they need. Weaving in mental practices that speak directly to them and their life - keeping it real and raw on the mat since life is not always easy off the mat. Many students have followed Lyn for almost thirty years…getting what they need.
Lyn has been training teachers since 2008. A leader in the area for her training program, yoga studios search out teachers who have trained with Lyn. You will find teachers that have studied with Lyn from the east coast to the west coast. As well as, various local studios throughout Westchester and Fairfield Counties. If you have practiced yoga locally, there is a good chance you have been instructed by one of her students.
Along with teaching and training, Lyn is a writer whose articles have been featured online and in print.
Registered w/Yoga Alliance since 2002 as an E-RYT 500.
