On transformation:
"I've watched it happen again and again People come to yoga in search of more flexibility or strength. Which they gain, of course. But then something else happens. They develop a passion -- and begin to step into a life of greater joy, connection, and courage. Yoga can be a doorway to that."
On practicing:
When you ask Linda about the benefits of yoga, she laughs, "How much time do you have? Vitality, energy and flexibility, of course. But yoga is also the gateway to a richer, fuller, more authentic life."
What her students say:
"Linda's classes are both nurturing and challenging. Somehow, she encourages her students to both accept themselves - and embrace the next step."
