Private instruction or 1-on-1 yoga therapy provides an opportunity to work one on one with Linda Troutman, C-IAYT to address your needs.
I assists people in recovering from illness, surgery, and injury. I offer tools to ease physical and emotional suffering from chronic illness, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and trauma, allowing you to move with more ease, obtain greater health, and live more joyfully.

Over the course of your initial appointments, I’ll design a home practice for you that incorporates breath, movement and simple meditation. Sequences are written out so you leave with your personal yoga practice in hand, developed to support your healing process. Each practice is highly-individualized and allows you to progress gradually and carefully from one stage to the next.
It takes time to integrate new habits and to see the effects. Linda recommends a commitment of 4 sessions for new students.
“Several years ago, my friend and I came to a restorative yoga workshop that Linda was teaching at Elmhurst Yoga Shala, and we fell in love. Since then Linda has been my personal yogi to help me through both physical and life issues. I consider her as my life coach and I am so much better emotionally as well as physically. We have weekly sessions together that are always amazing. I will never quit. ”
Your initial appointments include:
INITIAL ASSESSMENT

DEVELOPING YOUR PRACTICE

CONTINUING GROWTH
