"Each week I look forward Linda's yoga class as another opportunity to learn to relax and realign my body which had been mistreated for so many years. I have found that the fruits of yoga practice do not require headstands and advanced inversions. Getting the fundamentals right gives access to the integration of body, mind and soul. I leave class more grounded than when I arrived, and now its possible to continue practice at home.

Linda is rightly described as outgoing and fun-loving. But those attributes alone don't address her considerable gifts which include a sincere and attentive interest in each student, a carefully tailored approach for every member of the class, and her lighthearted witness to the value of yoga practice in finding balance and wholeness in life."

"Linda meets your body where it lives. And once she has met it, she sets about showing you how to release tightness, discomfort and/or pain. Rigorously trained in all matters of precision and alignment, Linda takes you inside your body so you can experience what being aligned feels like. She believes in yoga, but doesn't preach it.
Mostly she believes that we can all find a way to feeling good. And it's fun, which you can't always say about yoga class."

- Garret Freymann-Weyr, author, fanatic yoga student

“Linda is not a yoga teacher; she is a gift. Her presence, her energy, and her dynamic spirit are something to be cherished. Her classes are not yoga classes. They are experiences that allow the participants to connect with themselves in a way that is not possible in another venue. These days there are many yoga teachers, many yoga classes, but there is only one Linda Howard.”

"I was nervous about going to my first yoga class. But with Linda, I felt completely at ease. She cares about each one of her students, and provides a calm and fun sanctuary for us to practice. The practicality of her directions and personality made for a haven of learning. I got more out of it than I could have expected."

"I have been in yoga training with Linda for a year and a half and I love it more all the time. Linda provides such a laid-back training environment- one that balances the fine line of humor and serious exploration. My job as a dentist walks that fine line as well- calming my patients while providing the highest level of dentistry as possible. With each 12 week yoga session, I feel that I discover additional questions and insights into the postures that simultaneously sharpen my focus and increase my level of competence."

"Linda is a "master" teacher because she differentiates the instruction for each and every person. That's the ultimate in teaching."

"No matter what kind of day I have had, I always feel better both mentally and physically at the end of class. I find the sound of Linda's voice is very calming, and now I hear her in my head during my practice!"

"I am very grateful for happening upon Linda and Yoga. Her voice is now always in my head, gently correcting my posture.  Mostly I appreciate the gift of being IN my body and of experiencing my body without judgment for the first time in my life. I can now, at least while practicing Yoga, be aware of my body and appreciate it without expectation."

"The combination of mental, physical and spiritual work that I do as a student in Linda's class is my favorite de-stressor of the week. Her caring attitude towards each of her students, her excellent instructional skills, and her sunny disposition and sense of humor make it a pleasure to come to her class. She enjoys teaching and sharing yoga with others and it shows!"

-Susi Wyss

"For 40-some years I've lived from my neck up. (My body was just something to transport my brain.) But during my first class with Linda, I started to live in my body as well as my head. That connection grows weekly with each of Linda's sessions. Believe me, I'm the furthest thing from a yogi: I'm a middle -aged financial manager. But Linda's positive, patient, and individualized approach is making yoga work for me. And the results are just amazing.

PS: Be prepared to laugh. Linda's mix of yoga and wit is delightful and wise. And puts everyone at ease -- even financial managers!"
