Linda is an athlete, artist, and entrepreneur. She has been an athlete since the age of 3, beginning with her first love, gymnastics. After ten years of training, she got too tall and became an avid runner. In honor of her father, she completed her first marathon in 2007. Early in her running career Linda discovered yoga could counter-act and heal the wear and tear from all the years of training. Eventually, yoga became a full-time passion and she has continued to practice yoga and meditation intensively for over 15 years at various yoga centers in New York and Connecticut. In addition to studying with Michael Gilbert of New York Yoga and completing her yoga teacher training with Jean Marie Paolillo of Yoga Works, she has attended retreats, workshops, lectures and meditations led by many of the world's finest teachers from various spiritual traditions. During her many years as an artist and entrepreneur, Linda was participating in and studying the self-improvement industry. After closing the doors on her highly successful set design studio, Linda went on to help build The Handel Group, an international corporate and private coaching company whose coaching methodologies are now being taught at MIT, Rutgers University and NYU. Linda is married to the love of her life, Nick, and they live in Weston, Connecticut with her beautiful son, Jackson.
