Linda Lalita Winnick has developed Shakti Yoga, a style based on her extensive teaching experience several thousand classes a year for many years) and over 20 years of practicing yoga. After studying with multiple lineages, teachers and styles of yoga, Linda has extracted what she has found to be a succinct method of teaching that can be adapted to all levels of ability. As she is not bound to lineage, but embraces all, she works with creative asana sequencing, shat karmas (cleaning techniques) and pranayama (breath work) that is imbued with the wisdom of Hatha Yoga , Classical Yoga, and Ayurveda (Indian Medicine). It is a modern interpretation of Yoga that appeals to students who want a dynamic, creative approach to navigating the body, mind, and spirit. Each class has a specific sequencing principle that is unique to the group dynamic, time of day and season. Classes are spontaneous and have never been duplicated. Her teacher of yoga and body work for the past 5 years is Glenn Black, internationally recognized as a Master Yogi and Body Worker. Linda currently serves as his Body Master Apprentice. Linda has been training teachers (200 Hour and Advanced 500 Hour) for over 4 years to fill the growing demand. She is committed to the disciple of yoga , focusing on form , alignment and the cultivation of Shakti (Inner Power). Linda has been a popular workshop instructor with the Omega Institute since 2002 She has also taught at Menla, Ananda Ashram and a variety of local studios. She has trained the therapists at the Emerson Spa on Ayurvedic treatments where she also practices Ayurveda. She is a certified yoga teacher and has a Master of Arts in Ayurvedic Medicine and Yoga Philosophy. Linda Lalita Winnick, created Shakti Yoga of Woodstock in 2002 , starting with one class a week in her living room in Upstate , New York. After 2 years, she built a yoga studio based on the need for a larger space, creating an environment suited for practicing yoga. The studio is surrounded by windows absorbing the beauty of the country landscape. Radiant heat floors maintain the comfort of the room during the colder months. Shakti Yoga continues to offer the most daily classes for all levels of ability. Shakti Yoga of Saugerties opened in 2006 to make yoga convenient for those who live in this area. In June 2007, Shakti Yoga of Kingston was opened in the Shirt Factory in order to serve the residents of this community. Our latest studio to open is Shakti Yoga of Boiceville—making 4 studios in 4 years! In Fall 2007 , Linda launched the Shakti Yoga and Ayurveda Enrichment Institute. By creating this Institute, Linda hopes that students who have a desire for learning more about the practice of yoga and ayurveda will have their needs met through the series of workshops and seminars offered.
