Really About Me
Hey there, I'm Lindsay. Life has thrown me some curveballs, but I'm still here, stronger than ever.
Originally from NYC, I took a leap of faith and moved to Croatia with my family in pursuit of new adventures and experiences. Little did I know, life had some unexpected challenges waiting for me.
Shortly after settling in, I received the news that I had breast cancer. It was like a punch to the gut, shaking me to my core. The journey that followed was filled with fear, uncertainty, and medical procedures. Multiple surgeries and rounds of radiation became normal, but through it all, I refused to let cancer define me.
Today, I proudly stand as a survivor. Cancer-free and resilient, I've learned to appreciate the beauty of each moment and the strength that lies within us when faced with adversity.
Yet, the battle didn't end with cancer. Anxiety and depression became unwelcome companions on my journey to recovery. Learning to cope with the mental and emotional aftermath of such a life-altering experience has been a journey in itself. I'm committed to embracing the highs and lows, knowing that every hurdle I overcome makes me even more resilient.
So, that's a bit about me—someone who's faced challenges head-on, emerged victorious, and continues to navigate the twists and turns of life with courage, grace, and a sprinkle of humor along the way.
Movement-based practice has been my saving grace throughout my journey. Whether it's yoga, dance, or simply going for a walk, movement has been my anchor, keeping me grounded when everything else felt uncertain.
Engaging my body in motion has not only provided physical strength and vitality but has also been a powerful tool for managing anxiety and depression. In those moments of despair, it's the rhythm of movement that reminds me of the resilience of the human spirit and the healing power found within ourselves.
Through movement, I've found solace, release, and a renewed sense of purpose. It's not just about the physical act; it's about reconnecting with myself on a deeper level, tapping into the wisdom of my body, and allowing it to guide me towards healing and wholeness.
Whether I'm flowing through a yoga sequence, losing myself in the rhythm of a dance, or simply taking a mindful stroll through nature, movement continues to be my constant companion, reminding me that no matter what life throws my way, I have the strength and resilience to keep going. So do you.
My Offerings
I teach vinyasa flow, incorporating pranayama breath work with specific attention to syncing the breath with movement. We get our bodies moving in space through an alignment based practice.
I have cultivated a deep love for my teaching and I aim to develop a safe and creative space to move, and try new things. A space where we are able to be lighthearted with ourselves within the dedicated practice that draws us to our mats.
We begin using the breath as our tool to move and heal on and off our mats. We are constantly exploring what it means to fully embody our breath. In times that call for clarity and focus, generating the tools to have the ability to slow down and be fully present. Or in times that call us to move through space through a more rigorous asana practice, creating fire and heat.
