“If you want a teacher who is passionate about yoga, understands the intricacies of the postures, and makes it fun and enjoyable than Linda Troutman is your teacher.  She is intuitive and has a wonderful ability of making yoga doable/yet challenging for most anyone. " - Jeanne D.

Here's more about Linda in her own words...

L - ove teaching and taking yoga

I – nquisitive - I love reading and studying about yoga, anatomy and all of the intricacies involving movement of the human body. 

N - ature – I love nature, especially the ocean, trees, flowers and birds. 

D -  edicated – I am a dedicated student of many inspirational teachers .  I study with several local and national teachers on a regular basis.


A -  wareness – I believe this is the most powerful gift of yoga.  How can we change some aspect of our being if we do not know what needs our attention?



What do I want my students to know?  My intention is to be your guide as you practice yoga with effort, compassion and non-judgment while you move toward a place of integration and harmony.


Here are what students have said about Linda’s classes!

“If you want a teacher who is passionate about yoga, understands the intricacies of the postures, and makes it fun and enjoyable than Linda Troutman is your teacher.  She is intuitive and has a wonderful ability of making yoga doable/yet challenging for most anyone.  Students walk away with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the proper alignment of each posture.   Personally, she was the perfect teacher to help me work through my sense of lack of coordination to someone who now does yoga on a daily basis as a means of promoting peace and well being.  I recommend her highly to anyone!” -Jeanne D.

“Linda is energetic, intuitive, compassionate and treats each of us as a "whole" individual.”  -
Deb T.

“First thing that comes to mind is that she knows her stuff and that she cares deeply about her students.  She creates a very safe but fun atmosphere in her classes.  I never have so much fun working so hard.  She knows her students and their personal body issues and whether you are a beginner or advanced student all will feel like they got a lot from taking her class.  Linda is often seen hanging around after class and helping an individual student.  Recently my husband agreed to attend a yoga class.  I chose to take him to Linda's class, knowing that he would be in very good hands.” -
