Linda Rotunno

Linda Rotunno Linda Rotunno began to practice yoga after experiencing running injuries and stress fractures due to osteoporosis. She admits that her first yoga experiences involved following the video practices of Rodney Yee and Baron Baptiste. Always attracted to the power of the body, Linda enjoyed learning the body, breath, and mind techniques that tapped into her inner strength and energy. It was her daughter's encouragement and her experience practicing with a few outstanding yoga instructors that led Linda to enroll in the 2004 Moksha Teacher Training program with Daren Friesen. Having worked as a junior high school teacher for seven years and a retirement plan administrator/manager/paralegal for twenty-four years, Linda transfers many of her acquired experiences to her yoga 'classroom.' She continues to study a never-ending source of materials to enrich her own and her students' practices. Creating new and challenging sequences to keep the students engaged and interested is one of her goals. While appreciating the knowledge gained in her undergraduate and graduate studies (Loyola M.B.A.), Linda feels that she is only now beginning to learn a science that she feels passionate about. Linda has practiced with and been inspired by several Master Teachers including Ana Forrest and Andrey Lappa. She continues to learn from Tias Little, Aadil Palkhivala, Jim Bennitt and many senior Moksha teachers (where she taught for several years) in workshops and teacher trainings. Linda seeks to teach a practice that creates presence, energy, and power with grace.

What Students Say

"As a relative newcomer to Oak Park, I was thrilled to discover Yoga Trek and its offering of Vinyasa classes.  I immediately noticed a big difference in the physical space and the instructors compared to other locations.  The space is warm, peaceful and inviting, as are the instructors.  The fact that I'm greeted by name makes me feel part of the community; I'm continually pleasantly surprised that my different instructors remember tidbits about me that I have shared with them.

 I love that the instructors ensure that we're correctly doing the poses and take the time to adjust us so that we get the most benefit possible. Some times just that additional push from behind can make all the difference in a stretch.

Thank you for providing an oasis of peace in Oak Park.".
