About me
Lindsey Crosby’s love for yoga runs deep, and has been a part of her life since high school. She was playing many sports and was a competitive ski racer who experience back spasms that left her on the ground for hours at a time. Yoga became part of her dryland training routine that reduced the pain, and eventually eliminated it completely! All of a sudden she could touch her toes and build flexibility with her strength. Oh the physical benefits!
Lindsey joined the military right out of high school to become an Air Weapons Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces and attended the Royal Military College in Kingston Ontario. With the intensity of training and school that her career path took her on, she always found a yoga studio in the area that she could regularly roll out her mat and tune out the day for that blissful period of her day. Yoga became not just a physical outlet, but a very necessary mental practice that she craved each day.
Throughout her stressful career, she always found balance and solace in yoga, in the simplicity of breath and movement, and the natural world through exploring mountaintops and forests throughout the world. She has always been drawn to becoming a yoga teacher, but couldn’t find the time to pursue the dream as a shift worker in the military. Upon retiring in 2015, she has since completed her 200Hr YTT at Oranj Fitness (where she continues to teach today!) and another 300Hr YTT in Rishikesh India. She enjoys melding her eastern teachings of philosophy, pranayama and kriya with a western, more fluid approach, into her everyday practice and teachings. She believes that strength and discipline are key to her practice, and also listening deeply to the inner fluctuations and teaching of our own bodies and self.
When she isn’t practicing or teaching yoga, you can find Lindsey on her peach orchard frolicking about with her son, husband and animals. She has two big garden spaces with certified organic vegetables that she loves to showcase in her love of cooking for her family and friends. Seasonal, healthy eating is a big part of her diet, and she loves to explore new methods and recipes to make everything as delicious as possible, but allowing the fresh fruit and vegetables speak for themselves. Striving to live a sustainable lifestyle is something that is dear to her heart, which she finds new ways to get there each season. She also teaches “farm yoga,” a pay-what-you-can slow flow class, every week in the spring and summer.
