LINDA BECK 

The gifts of yoga are abundant and include clarity of mind, physical strength and flexibility, self awareness, and most of all, a sense of community.  As an instructor, Linda feels privileged to guide her students in a practice to realize these gifts.  Linda has been practicing various styles of yoga for over 12 years.  She has completed her level one and advanced level teacher trainings at yogaview in Chicago where she continues to practice and be inspired by the wonderful teachers who avail themselves to her there.  Yoga is an integral aspect of Linda's approach to life which centers on wellness, energy and spirituality for realizing optimum mental and physical potential.

In Linda's class, you can expect lots of energetic movement, a focus on alignment, awareness of the individual and an emphasis on joy.  Linda honors the commitment her students make to being on the mat and tries to insure that they leave class feeling fully satisfied both physically and mentally.  In addition to guiding adults in their yoga practice, Linda also teaches children's classes and is developing programs to integrate yoga principles more fully in to the lives of youth as a means to help them manage the challenges of growing up in our fast-paced society.
