LINDA Y.

Linda started practicing yoga in 2018 as a way to connect with new neighbors after moving. In the process, she discovered the importance of yoga’s breathwork, meditation and movement in living with chronic illness (lupus).  Wanting to share yoga’s benefits with others, she decided to expand her practice, completing her 200- hr yoga teacher training in January, 2024. Soon thereafter, Linda was thrilled find trauma-informed yoga training and Comeback Yoga!

Linda loves traveling, hiking, gardening, reading, practicing Spanish, and spending time with her spouse, adult son, and dog.

CATHERINE A.

Catherine's journey with yoga began in the late 1990s when she took a yoga class as a physical education credit in college. After that her practice lapsed and she didn't pick it up again until the early 2000s when she found herself in over her head with life and not enough self-care.  Catherine sought out a local studio that was hosting a challenge with free classes for a month and this re-connected her to her practice. Since then she has found growth within her practice,  balance with her life, tamed anxiety and heart space to share, teach and live more fully.  

Catherine enjoys leading gentle HaTha yoga and making space for rest, silence and sometimes laughter.
