Lynn took her first yoga class in her mid twenties. At that time, she was the health and fitness director for the YWCA in Lancaster, PA and the quintessential gym rat, teaching group exercise for almost a decade. Yoga was just too quiet, too slow, too time consuming, and she couldn't figure out how sitting and breathing was going to accomplish anything. Little did she know. She would “dabble” in it here and there throughout the years whenever she could "justify" the time away from work in the corporate world and life as a single mother.
After battling stage III breast cancer, several surgeries, and significant weight gain, high-impact workouts and the “gym” atmosphere only led to chronic insecurity and pain. In addition, life became busier and busier as her family of two grew to seven when she married her husband, Christopher and they relocated to Landenberg. It was here where Lynn found Unite for Her, a program committed to providing complementary services designed to promote physical and emotional wellness. These complementary services led her to The Light Within and Lynn has been practicing at The Light Within since 2012.
Lynn loves to flow. Her teaching style is informed by her personal practice. Her most favorite format to teach is restorative yoga. By the very definition, your intention is hopefully to leave feeling BETTER than when you came in. Your breath is your most valuable teacher and yoga should never hurt. She believes the guiding principle of yoga is “do no harm,” an when she purchased The Light Within in 2017, her intention was to continue to foster and nurture the wonderful commUNITY already created and continue to create a safe space for EVERYone and everyBODY.
Off the mat, you can catch Lynn in your local coffee shop, hanging out in the early morning listening to her collection of wind chimes, walking in the woods with friends or family, doing all things creative, getting lost on a back road with “her guy,” or loving on her family.
