One session was all it took for me to know Linda is the one I wish to learn from. Her radiant energy, calming demeanour, and vibrant personality instantly attracted me. The way she commands the room, holds the space, and encourages inward gaze captivated me. Acknowledgement to her lineage and her gurus is what distinguishes Linda from the crowd, her emphasis on yoga being so much more than asana practice is what solidified her as a teacher for me. It is my hope to learn as much from her as possible so I can continue to spread the warmth, joy, and light she has to offer.

What makes Radiant Soul Yoga different from other yoga teacher training? 


The biggest difference is that Radiant Soul Yoga is a traditional school of yoga that continues to represent yoga as a holistic transformational spiritual discipline, ensuring a deep connection to the heart.

Unique Holistic Approach

  • Have your preconceived ideas of yoga challenged with a holistic approach rooted in the ancient wisdom and power of yoga, ayurveda and tantric traditions
  • Learn from my 35+ years of experience and self transformation with clear and precise practices delivered in approachable ways that reflect scientific and peer-informed data 
  • Discover asana and pranayama as a spiritual practice, each practice allowing you to explore a deep state of consciousness

Meditation Matters

  • While many YTTs gloss over meditation, deep and potent transformation is available through breathwork and meditation (the physical practice is only ONE of the means to bring about the state of yoga)
  • Create your own consistent meditation practice and feel empowered to share meditation with others

Function Over Form

  • RSY unique strategy emphasis asana function, as opposed to form, allowing for a deeper overall approach to practices (you still learn the fundamentals of alignment)
  • Learn to adapt your instruction based on the body cues of your students so you can serve and honor each individual student
  • Enhance your ability to teach, treat, and heal the whole person

Yoga OFF the Mat

  • Infuse yoga into every aspect of daily life – hatha yoga offers a path through the body, but as we practice with our bodies, we also pay attention to what comes up in our mind and hearts
  • My goal is to help you use the ancient science of yoga and the yoga tradition to solve modern problems

Interactive Experience

  • By moving through the training together, you learn not only from me, but also develop a sense of community from an incredible group of peers
  • Get built-in motivation as you flex your newfound leadership skills.
