Linda was voted by her students "Best Yoga Teacher" posted in The Racine Journal Times "Best of Racine County 2005", 2/27/05.

Her students say,

Your class was challenging yet gentle. Your approach is straight-forward yet compassionate. I admired that. I've taken classes at yoga studies in Albuquerque, Aspen and in Racine and yours was one of my favorites. I got a good work-out and yet felt relaxed. Some of the other classes were a bit too laid-back even though they had been described as "intermediate." At your place, I felt we could put into the class what we needed for our particular needs and levels. Thanks again..................................Julie

Your yoga classes have "been a miracle for my neck and back"..............................Carol

"It is good to have class, after 2 sessions, most of my stresses are gone and I feel physically good - slept great"...............................Dave

"Marshmellow; that's the word that describes how I feel at the end of your class".........................................Lori.

"What you've done for me in the last 3-4 months is amazing and has helped me to be more competitive in my golf game".......Jim.

"You really are the best!"................................Betty.

A great time was had by all at our recent Costa Rica Yoga Retreat with Linda. Pura Vida was beyond our expectations. The food was fabulous and Costa Rica is a beautiful location with lush vegetation everywhere and mountains all around. We went white water rafting and jumped from tree stand to tree stand on the canopy tours zip line. Some experienced a gorgeous day at the beach while others enjoyed the shops with local arts and crafts.

Look for information on next years yoga retreat and join us!
