I have run daily for ~ 30 years and worked out with weights and equipment nearly daily for the last 20 years. My wife gifted me with a visit to Yoga from the Heart and it was simply AMAZING. Ms. Lynn is very engaging, knowledgeable and an effective communicator. Ms. Lynn not only knows the techniques, and effectively demonstrates and explains their nuances, but clearly practices the exercise herself and thus is very credible. Ms. Lynn listened and observed my situation and tailored my Yoga positions to meet my specific goals. I offer Ms. Lynn and Yoga from the Heart my highest endorsement. Namaste

I can not say enough good things about this yoga studio. Lynn, the studio owner is an incredibly experienced, knowledgeable yoga teacher with an in depth comprehension of body mechanics. Lynn's cues enable the student to understand what muscle or body part to use in a particular pose and the corresponding relationship of that movement to other movements in the body along with how it should feel. Going to one of Lynn's classes is always a learning experience enabling me to go deeper into my yoga practice. Plus, whenever I leave I feel great! I also take classes with Michelle and Steve and they are terrific teachers as well. This is the best yoga studio in town!

Totally awesome yoga studio! One of the highlights of my stay in Sarasota over the winter months was attending classes at Yoga from the Heart. Lynn and staff are welcoming, highly trained to accommodate various levels of practice, and committed to honoring the art of yoga. If you're looking for body, mind, and spiritual benefits of yoga, look no further - it's all at Yoga from the Heart. I'm already looking forward to returning next winter!

I've been practicing yoga for many years, but after my first class with Lynn at Yoga From the Heart, I knew I had found the studio for me. Lynn understands the human anatomy better than any other yoga teacher I have encountered and explains and demonstrates exactly what part of the body and what muscles we are using for each pose and how to work them. For anyone who is really interested in understanding yoga, rather than just rushing through different asanas, this is the place to be.
