Questions & Answers
Who am I?
I am Lindsay, an RYT 200-hour certified Yoga & Meditation teacher and a 200-hour certified Power Yoga instructor. Over the past decade, I have guided more than 7,500 in-person classes, along with more than 2000 virtual classes since 2020.
Beyond my work on the mat, I teach undergraduate courses at Shenandoah University and serve as Program Coordinator for a nonprofit Youth Development Center in Winchester, VA, where I create opportunities for connection, creativity, and community.
I also channel my creative energy into visual art, creating abstract works inspired by movement, nature, and the landscapes around me. After 15 years of developing my artistic practice, my original artwork is now available through my website, and select reproductions are also sold through Crate & Barrel stores. Visit HereTogetherArt.com to explore my work.
What is Vinyasa Yoga?
Vinyasa Yoga is often referred to as the practice of joining breath with movement. We begin in stillness and throughout the class, we move through postures that strengthen, stretch our bodies as well as celebrate our balance. In the end, we return to stillness with a new found sense of ease. This method of practicing postures was a foundation of my yoga trainings as well as a staple in my continued personal practice.
Why Virtual?
This platform will serve as a virtual home to provide yoga to folks wherever they are. This space will connect us near and far and will function as an inclusive safe space for anyone looking to discover or build upon their Yoga practice. I will one day expand this service by potentially adding workshops and when possible, I will travel to provide in-person classes.
Why the name "Lovely Devi"?
What a beautiful thought that we each share the power to create health, beauty, joy and harmony in our lives.
"Devi is the sanskrit word for "Goddess", a cosmic force that destroys demonic forces threatening the world's equilibrium. Devi creates, annihilates and recreates the universe..."
The Intention
My experience has taught me that yoga is a powerful path toward greater peace, clarity, and connection. I don’t claim to have all the answers or to be a perfect instructor; instead, I strive to show up with consistency, curiosity, and a commitment to my own practice. I trust that where I am today is a meaningful place to begin, and that my dedication has prepared me to serve as a humble guide for others.
I have deep respect for the science, philosophy, and traditions of yoga, and I remain committed to continuing my studies and learning from the many teachers and experiences that have shaped my practice. What I offer is a thoughtful reflection of what I have learned—an invitation to explore, not a claim of mastery. My hope is to meet each practice with openness and compassion.
