Lindsay Sullivan

Bio: Lindsay Sullivan fell for Yoga in 2005 in an attempt to strengthen and open her physical body but was ultimately taken in by the transformative qualities the practice had to offer the mind and the heart. In 2007 she stumbled upon the wild and beautiful Gelupka Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and has been a devoted stumbler ever since. A student of Kelly Morris, Lindsay is a graduate of Conquering Lion Yoga in NYC. She has also completed an apprenticeship with Angela Clark, Stephanie Creaturo and Christina Hatgis at Mala Yoga and currently trains extensively in Tibetan Heart Yoga under Kimberley Theresa Veenhof at Yoga Studies Institute. Lindsay also practices and teaches meditation and is a songwriter and musician living in Brooklyn.

How I teach: Lindsay seeks to answer the question, “How in the hell can Downward Facing Dog lead to the enlightenment of all beings?” Her energetic and heat-building sequencing uses postures, meditation, breath awareness, subtle body development and hands-on alignment, as well as ancient scriptures and The Beatles to crack open the heart, awaken the mind, and unravel the mystery that is Yoga. The path could not be tread were it not for the grace of those who walked the walk before us and continue to pull us along our way.  She thanks her Teachers profusely from the bottom of her heart over and over, again and again.
