Linda Lopes

Linda Lopes is a certified Yoga Instructor 500H, Guided Energy Healing Practitioner, and shares Sacred Drum Medicine.

Through asana-focused classes, Linda strives to create an accessible practice that offers variations and options for participants to move with a sense of agency that focuses on and honors each person’s individual needs. Linda uses inclusive language and teaches with a trauma-informed understanding. In addition to asana, breathing exercises and meditation are interwoven into each class.

Linda is passionate about honoring the roots of yoga. When she is not teaching a yoga class, she facilitates in Yoga Teacher Trainings that center Social Justice and the experience of those who hold marginalized identities.  

Linda discovered her mat over a decade ago through a mentor, who she refers to as the catalyst for change in her life.  While searching for happiness, joy, love, and abundance, she soon realized that what she and most of us long for is always found within. Linda believes that this practice is a constant reminder to remember our gifts, deep desires, and interconnectedness.
