MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi, I’m linda ananda taylor.
I have been offering energy-work, teaching and spiritual guidance to people since 2002.
I started with a Reiki Master attunement at the tail end of 2000 (12/12) and fell in love with working with Universal Life Force Energy, the Reiki symbols, and working with people in person and remotely, and after a couple of years, I started offering healings and training remotely on my very first website in 2002.
Flash forward to sometime in early 2014, when I saw a sketch of some cartoon rabbits doing yoga, probably on Facebook. For some inexplicable reason I was totally drawn to this little drawing (lol) and printed it out. I felt compelled to copy the bunnies in the yoga poses, 12 postures as I recall. And before too long, I was feeling something really interesting and enjoying entering the poses and feeling the specific energy of each of them, which was as strong as the energy-work I had been involved with for years, but still, somehow different and really intriguing to me. Yoga taught me to consciously breathe, for the first time in my life, and to then learn to combine the movement and energy of the postures, to the breath in a meaningful, and always present way. The rabbits taught me all that they could, and then I discovered so much more by watching videos on YouTube, and eventually, finding a couple of places to practice yoga with others, which is an entirely different experience.
I gradually began to see physical changes: like having way more balance and strength and feeling even more flexible than ever before. I was also present to my life and feelings in an entirely new and improved way. I wanted to share what I had found, like I had done with everything that deeply mattered to me and that I strongly felt would help others.
In 2015, I was guided to find a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, and I connected with a Yoga studio in Long Beach, while I was living in San Pedro, CA. Everything smoothly fell into place for me to begin in September of 2015 and I graduated in February of 2016. By mid-March, I was actually teaching yoga on the beach, “Free Yoga on the Beach” to be exact! It was perfect, and I felt so happy and grateful to be guiding people in yoga, chanting and meditation. I eventually started working at a beautiful new Yoga studio (GGIW) in Lomita, CA and knew I had found my Yoga Home. I was happily teaching there until I had to move away from the South Bay to take a new job in the Inland Empire in April of 2018, and I started teaching in the IE in 2019 through a Meetup group, meeting in public parks to do yoga and meditate. I also started doing a lot of private party group yoga sessions, one-time events for parties, showers, bachelorette events, etc. which I am now happy to be able to offer to residents of Southern California again!
I am now in beautiful Huntington Beach, California where I plan to stay for years to come! I am looking to work with locals from HB, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa and Fountain Valley primarily.
I specialize in Gentle Hatha and Restorative Yogas, Yoga Nidra, Meditation and Crystal Healing sessions.
My ORGANIC Approach TO WORKING TOGETHER
Working with what interests you the most, and what your own personal transformational goals are, will deeply inspire and motivate your journey in so many ways, and this guides us as to where we will put our emphasis, focus and priority in our work together.
1:1 Sessions are important to have at whatever interval you are comfortable with!
In person sessions are optimal.
This is where we can fine tune our process together, speak of your accomplishments, and anything else, such as your goals for the week/month/year or change or adjust what you want to focus on. The sessions are open to flexibility on what the time is for and always tailored to your needs.
All 1:1 Sessions are always by Appointment only.
