Lynne took her first yoga class while in college, at the YMCA in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Her first instructor and mentor, Trudy Davis, encouraged Lynne to teach when she moved to Alaska in 1977. Her students were her main teachers for those first few years and then, something had to be done. Lynne enrolled in the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco’s Teacher Training Program the summer of 1980. Encouraged by Donald Moyer, she attended her first yoga Intensive at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India in 1981. She was certified to teach yoga by BKS Iyengar in 1984. Subsequent trips to Pune followed in 1988 and 1997. Lynne continues to study and be inspired by teachers of both the Iyengar and Anusara traditions of yoga. Judith Lasater, Donald Moyer, Fr. Joe Pereira, John Friend, Sarahjoy Marsh and Desiree Rumbaugh are influential in her teaching.
Lynne founded the Inner Dance Yoga Studio in 1982 and has overseen its growth and development into a thriving center with 20 plus instructors. She trained the majority of the teachers through the Inner Dance Teacher Training program that began in 1999.
She has a love of “teaching teachers” and helping them to realize the depth of yoga through its 8 limbed path. Lynne teaches 5 weekly classes at the studio, Intermediate Level 3 from 10-11:30AM on Tuesday and Thursday; Beginning level 1-2 from Noon to 1 PM on Tuesday and Thursday, and Gentle Level on Wednesday from 5:15-6:45 PM.
Lynne grew up in Wisconsin. Her love of travel and degree in Environmental Geology brought her to play and work in Alaska in 1975. That year she met future husband, Jim, who greatly influenced her decision to make Alaska home. They have been married since 1978. Together they enjoy camping, flying, overseas travel and their wonderful community of family and friends. Lynne also loves to sing, garden, bike and hike.
