about lindsay
Hi! I am a certified (RYT500) Yogaworks, (RYT200) Ashtanga with Basia Going and Richard Freeman and (RYT200) Power Yoga yoga instructor. Originally from Canada and now working full-time in Oslo and Hemsedal, Norway.
I discovered yoga while studying philosophy and translation at university. When I graduated I immediately began my studies in yoga. Travelling and moving to different cities in Canada and the United States to seek out the teacher trainings I believed best suited me. I knew I wanted the tools to share all that yoga meant to me with others. In 2013 I committed to teaching full-time and haven't looked back.
My obsession with elegance and finding strength in Asana means my classes have strong and purposeful flow. I believe that building strength has both mental and physical healing properties.
I also believe in teaching, not just guiding classes. I like to challenge my students while teaching them the how and why of alignment, breath and technique. I want to empower my students to make choices for themselves as they practice, whether they are sharing their practice with me, at home, or in another class.
I believe that the lessons we learn while we practice can enhance our experience of everyday life.
Hope to see you on the mat,
Lindsay
