Lindsey Michell, RYT
Registered Yoga Teacher

After dabbling in various forms of yoga asana for decades, Lindsey’s deep love for yoga didn’t really start until 2019 when she attended her first restorative yoga class, and it changed….. everything. As someone who struggles to feel at home in her own body, Lindsey found restorative yoga to be exactly what her soul needed – a space that gave permission to sit with herself and just be, and to learn to find peace in the being. In a world that constantly drives us to be better, faster, stronger, restorative yoga was a much-needed reminder to slow down, breathe, and feel empowered to be yourself amongst the chaos. It felt like it was the first time in her life where she was able to begin to build a relationship with herself – and as a woman in her 30s, this concept was revolutionary.

This started Lindsey on a path that would completely change the trajectory of her life. After quitting a career that led her into the depths of burnout, depression, and those all-too familiar feelings of being “lost,” Lindsey enrolled in her first 250 YTT at Kind Yoga by Heart, and then her second at YogaSpace specializing in restorative yoga. It was through these trainings that Lindsey came to understand what it means to feel a sense of belonging, and the transformative magic that happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and wholly accepted as they are. Witnessing the ripple effect this has both on a person and their community lit a fire under Lindsey, and it became her mission to create safe spaces for everyone so they, too, can know what it means to feel seen, heard, accepted, and deserving.

Lindsey’s approach to yoga tends to be a bit unconventional. Her classes are always designed to be accessible to all bodies and are full of options and modifications. She encourages her students to get curious about their bodies and connect with themselves in ways that feels authentic to them. She loves to mix mindful, gentle, and intuitive movements with playful hints of spiciness to help people discover their own unique strength, inner rhythm, and find what feels most supportive within their bodies. Her overall attitude both on the mat and off are “we are all capable of doing hard things – why not have some fun while doing it?”

When not teaching yoga, Lindsey loves to write, read, build music playlists, and spend time with her friends, husband, and two derpy cats.
