Linda Castronovo (Sundays) Venmo: @Linda-Castronovo-1
I discovered yoga while still in high school in a 1979 Runner's World article. I followed the directions and tried all the postures because the author promised improved strength, flexibility, and injury prevention. It was just a handful of postures: warrior, triangle, cobra, downward dog, and child pose, but I immediately felt calmer, more centered, and more alive.
​
I studied exercise science in college and graduate school, worked as a personal trainer, and coached field hockey and lacrosse before I stayed home to raise my son. I was certified as a Kripalu Yoga Instructor in 1991 and continued my study of yoga history and philosophy with many teachers, including Patty Townsend. I value every experience as a teacher and student, on and off the mat.
Now at sixty, my classes are moving meditations designed to build strength, flexibility, mobility, and integrity. I teach an eclectic mix of many traditions, but my aim is to guide you to your own deep well of gratitude, compassion, and self-acceptance.
