Lynn has been such an important person in my life. 

10 years ago I had been hospitalized and all the workouts I had been doing previously were giving me migraines after the accident.

I had just started trying yoga and came to one of her classes in person.

At the time my vertigo was so bad that I couldn't do a downward dog and switched to child's pose in replacement for a bunch of the poses.

But even when I couldn't fully participate, I was listening to her describe the mental aspect of yoga,

and how important clearing your mind and taking those deep breaths are.  Over time my body healed and was able to participate more and more. 

The classes not only healed my body but my mind and soul as well.  Her thoughtful writings to open and close the class inspire all of us. 

I can feel the toxic energy exit my body during the classes, more so than any other workout class I have taken.

It has helped me process so much about myself, and helped me stay sober for 10 years now.

When I went through my two years of intense plantar fasciitis,

I kept coming to class in arch support sandals to do the tree and eagle pose, and her class helped me heal again. 

Then I went through a horrific breakup and felt like I had lost everything and was starting my life over in my mid-thirties.

Her story about the tall tree and the weed reminded me I needed to bend to keep from breaking, to let the pain rush over me and not uproot me.

I have become a stronger person through the lessons, and has helped me grow mentally and physically.

The classes are wonderful for all ages, from beginners to those who have practiced yoga for decades. 

I am so thankful for Lynn as a person, as my yoga instructor and as a friend.
