About Lin Maxwell

Lin believes in the transformative power of yoga!

She’s dedicated herself to the study and teaching of yoga for the past thirteen years after leaving a career in corporate marketing.

Lin is a graduate of Piedmont Yoga Studio’s intensive teacher training program under Rodney Yee and also apprenticed with senior Iyengar teacher, John Schumacher in Washington, DC. In the past five years, she has trained in Vipassana meditation and has increasingly brought a meditative approach to her asana practice and teaching, influenced by the teaching of Mary Paffard.

In her Hatha Yoga classes, Lin teaches with attention to alignment and detail in poses, but also includes some vinyasa (sun salutation flow). She carefully and joyfully guides her students to develop their awareness, flexibility, strength, and endurance while reducing stress. Through the coordination of movement and breath, students become more present in each moment. Philosophy, poetry, and other inspirational readings are shared to enrich the soul.

A mother herself, Lin has been teaching Prenatal Yoga classes for over seven years now and feels it is a great joy and privilege to help expectant Moms during this very important transitional time in their lives. In her prenatal classes, Lin emphasizes the coordination of movement and breath as she guides her students to gently strengthen, open, refresh and renew themselves in preparation for birthing and parenting.

In addition to her Hatha and Prenatal classes, Lin specializes in:

• Yoga for Back Care
• Yoga for Seniors
• Restorative/Gentle Yoga
• Yoga for People with Disabilities
