Metta Yoga: Mind-Body Education

PRAISE

“Linda is truly outstanding and inspirational as a yoga instructor.   I have been privileged to be her student for more than seven years.  Her classes have been innovative and have far surpassed my expectations.  I would recommend her as an instructor for anyone who takes improvement of their life seriously as she is very dedicated to her purpose.” – Chris R., 2010


“I am very glad that you. . .are now teaching others to find their balance of yin and yang.“  – master yoga teacher Paul Grilley, 2010


“Thank you for being such a blessing in my life…your teachings have directly helped my healing process and have been so influential and inspiring.” – private student, 2009


“You are the best yoga teacher we could ever have.  We love you teaching for us.  I am hoping you teach for us for a long time.” — Donna Newberg, Course Developer, Elgin Community College, 2009


“You are a life saver.  Without you I would be a stressed out 20 year old bitching about everything.  Now I live my life and I’m writing my own story and I have never felt better.  I tell everyone about you and how you guide people to find not only  happiness but themselves.  I thank you for opening my eyes to that.” — Waubonsee Community College student, 2009


“I am grateful for whatever I can learn from you.  Grateful for whatever time you provide.  You are like a pioneer in this area — being and doing something unique that most of us can’t get anywhere else.  While not everyone is ready for you, those that are will garner great experiences and make important adjustments in their life because of you and your impact.  I in no way think I would have the clarity and general sense of well-being that I have right now if it weren’t for you.  You make sense to me.  I don’t think I would get the same result without you.   And while I’m slowly making my way around my personally built ditches, I am learning when to build my bridges to cross them, when to fill them, and when to just walk around them.  You put me on this path and I appreciate you.” — private student, 2008


“I am a dedicated student of Linda’s because she is the real deal.  She is a bodhisattva.  For me, this is everything.  And the fact that she teaches in the western suburbs of Chicago is a testimony to the fact that for her, yoga is not strapping on the latest trendy yoga gear and showing off a sick inversion to intimidate — her yoga comes from the authentic intention of teaching from the heart.  If you have not taken a class from her you must.  Now.  Before she takes residence in some hillside or beach in India.  For us in the Fox Valley, she is a comet.” — Noel C., 2008


“Let your work and teachings stand alone.  They are pure and thoughtful and honest.  You have a gift and it radiates from the inside out.  You are authentic, passionate, professional, and truly a teacher.  You inspire people to move deeper into their bodies and sink into their minds at their own pace in a way that is comfortable for them and you teach with grace and humbleness.   You have helped me with my path, that where my heart is driving me, it’s OK.” — Kate C., 2007


“I have been increasingly drawn to teachers who truly teach authentic yoga, who embody the teachings, and have been taught by our modern day masters themselves.  Linda is one of my favorite teachers because I can experience through her what she has learned from her own deep yoga and meditation practices…her direct relationships with some of the greatest yoga masters on the planet today, and her deep understanding of Buddhism.  In today’s world, Linda’s ability to transmit the knowledge and energy of the authentic teachings of yoga help me deepen my own understanding and practice….  I feel very blessed to have a teacher like Linda here in the western suburbs, as one often has to travel across the city, country, or globe to find teachers of this caliber.” — Marianne C., 2006
