"One session was all it took for me to know Linda is the one I wish to learn from. Her radiant energy, calming demeanour, and vibrant personality instantly attracted me. The way she commands the room, holds the space, and encourages inward gaze captivated me. Acknowledgement to her lineage and her gurus is what distinguishes Linda from the crowd, her emphasis on yoga being so much more than asana practice is what solidified her as a teacher for me. Thanks to Linda my personal practice has deepened. My gaze has shifted inwards, and the external is no longer my focus. It is my hope to learn as much from her as possible so I can continue to spread the warmth, joy, and light she has to offer."

- Michael Connell

"The first time I took a yoga class with Linda, I knew that she was the person I wanted to complete my Yoga Teacher Training Course with. Her classes are warm, welcoming, and have a beautiful spiritual element. The Teacher Training Course delves deep into the origins of yoga, while also being very practical and hands-on."
