Lyndsay Rose Kane, CYT

Lyndsay was first introduced to Yoga when she was a little girl. She practiced poses with her parents in her living room, the warm sun beating through the giant window in the middle of a bitter North Dakota winter. It gave her great delight.

As she grew up she found herself drawn to the Theatre Arts. Nearly every Acting Class she took, be it for the Northwestern Cherubs Summer Camp or CalArts Graduate School, began with at least a half hour of Yoga practice. She learned that it connected her with her body, calmed her nerves, fed her creativity, improved her health, and opened her mind to fantastic possibilities. It became a staple of her lifestyle. She would wake up practicing Sun Salutations, and warm up for every rehearsal and performance with minimally an hour of practice.

Then, as the innocence of childhood began to wash away, she found herself turning to Yoga to give her the strength to face the trials and tribulations life insists at throwing at us all. It helps her fight the demons of depression, it helps her stay true to herself in a world of illusions, and it gives her the ability to stay focused in a life so full of uncertainty. Just before her mother passed away she and her fiancé moved back to the Midwest. She was given a completely fresh start on life and took the time to analyze what she would do now. Again, Yoga became her backbone. It helped her rediscover the things she loves. She decided to begin teaching Yoga and help others realize their own true nature and path. It gives her great joy to share with the world all that Yoga can offer.

Lyndsay’s classes open with a guided meditation. She focuses on the breath, feeling the structure of the body, focusing the mind, and visual imagery or personal mantras. She guides you through your asana practice helping you draw the discoveries you made in meditation into your movements and postures. She looks to give you a firm alignment foundation both with cuing and hands on adjustments. Her joyful, calm and down-to-earth demeanor helps her approach teaching as an open dialogue with you, giving you what you need in the moment to go deeper into your practice. She aims to help you discover new things about yourself and your capabilities, whatever your level of experience in Yoga. Her goal is to share her love of Yoga with you.
