Kassandra Lindstrom
Greetings, fellow yogis and yoginis! My name is Kassandra, and I am a certified yoga teacher with a passion for helping people find balance and harmony in their practice. I completed my 500-hour teacher training in Delray, FL, from Space Unknown, under the guidance of two incredible teachers, Naya Rappaport and Salila Thuy. This training was a transformative experience that deepened my knowledge and love for the practice of yoga.
I have been practicing yoga for over 15 years, and my specialty is Yin Yoga. This gentle and meditative style of yoga has been my sanctuary during challenging times, and I have seen firsthand the transformative power of this practice. I believe that yoga is not just a physical practice but a holistic approach to health and well-being. Through breathwork, mindfulness, and movement, we can bring balance to our mind, body, and spirit.
As a teacher, my approach is gentle, mindful, and alignment-focused. I encourage my students to listen to their bodies and practice with compassion and self-awareness. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, my classes are accessible and adaptable to all levels. I create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore the union of body, mind, and spirit that yoga has to offer.
My goal as a teacher is to inspire and empower my students to cultivate strength, flexibility, and inner peace through the practice of yoga. Together, let us embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Om shanti!
