Lindsey walked through the door of Wake Up Yoga in 2003 as a last ditch effort to relieve relentless lower back and hip pain from years of competitive athletics and marathon training. Quickly cured of her tight IT bands, she discovered the compelling transformational power of yoga. More than just healing to the physical body, this practice became her entry point to emotional insight and spiritual rejuvenation.
With a B.S. in Exercise Science and over ten years of experience in the fitness field, Lindsey felt professionally magnetized to yoga for its unique ability to expand upon the limitations of a physical workout. She is an '09 graduate of the Wake Up Yoga Teacher Training program under the astute and creative teachings of Corina Benner and Jill Manning.
Having worked as a personal trainer for many years, Lindsey's practice is inspired by the desire to re-define strength, moving away from the notion of physical superiority, and towards an approach that strength is simply courage: courage to see all that is, not simply what “should” be. In the brave act of choosing to see ourselves fully, to recognize that we are more than our labels and identities, we find the freedom to explore the edges of experience. Lindsey is devoted to choosing faith over fear and living with an open-heart.
Lindsey grew up in Mt. Airy and is a Philly girl, born and bred. She lives with her fiancée, Debbie, and her step-daughter, Eleanor, in Pennsport.

Oftentimes we live our lives driven by shoulds. We allow our ingrained, purposeless habits to dictate the flow of our lives. What would happen if we were to seek our highest intention--both on and off the mat--and devote our effort toward this goal, rather than toward the dry minutiae of our day? Connect with your deepest desire, and allow your asana practice to kindle this goal. This practice will employ Tapas (discipline) to burn away what is still and no longer needed. After eliminating the stagnant, bask in the quick, savoring the radiance of your brilliant Self as a lepracon relishes the sparkle of gold found at the end of the rainbow.
