Lynda Holtschneider, Founder & Owner Since 2015

Note from Lynda:

I truly enjoy working with all ages, teaching toddlers to seniors (oldest so far is 92!) in groups and private settings.

While I've been a student of various styles yoga and Ayurvedic principles since my early 20's, it wasn't until being diagnosed with stage 3C Cancer that I was really able to “see”. By that I mean, the thread interwoven throughout my life, the whispers my body had been speaking to me, that I AM capable of making the changes in my life that need to be made, and if not NOW then when?

Believe it or not, it was during chemo and radiation treatments that I embarked on my teacher training. Delving deeper into my personal practice and experiencing first hand the remarkable changes in mind, body and soul that can occur through yoga.

Putting it “all together”, into a regular practice, studying it, and sharing it, I have really begun to understand that “yoga isn't something you do, it's a way of life”. I've been able to create a more balanced life, becoming more in tune with my body and the world around me.

Making the connection with my students, in mind, body and spirit, to help guide them along their practice is a blessing. Presenting these teachings in a safe and healing environment brings forth true transformation.

Like most yoga teachers, I was teaching at multiple locations and various types of venues, until the pandemic.

I now have two studio locations: Pura Vida Yoga & Integrative Wellness and I am co-owner of Mindful You Yoga & Wellness.

I enjoy serving these communities and being a part of your wellness journey.
