Lynn
Registered Yoga Teacher
After first experiencing classes at Balance as a student, Lynn decided to join the Balance teaching team in 2025.
​
A proud mother of 3 adult daughters and blessed to be a stepmother to 2 others, Lynn has had a 25-year career as an esthetician and spa business owner.
In 2017 she followed her love of yoga and decided to train to become a Yoga Teacher, taking her 200-hour Hatha Yoga teacher training and a 30-hour Yin Yoga training - which she was then able to add as weekly offerings at her spa.
In 2019 Lynn had to step back from teaching due to severe plantar fasciitis and then COVID hit. Lynn made some necessary adjustments to her career, retiring from the spa industry and began a new career as a public servant.
Her love of yoga remained & Lynn slowly returned to classes, and realized just how much she missed sharing this passion & teaching others about the many benefits of yoga.
​
Recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis & spinal issues, she is very mindful & respectful of her new limitations & wants to encourage others & teach them that yoga is absolutely available to everyone.
"Yoga is healing for me and I want to share my passion with others."
