Hi! My name is Lindsay.
I founded Rage Yoga in 2015.
Why? Well… I went through a rough breakup. It’s cliché as fuck, I know, but there you have it.
I was falling apart. No matter how hard I tried to pretend to be okay, my sadness and anger started to come out in my practice. At first, I thought that meant I was doing it wrong but I leaned into the discomfort anyway. I let myself be a mess. Then something cool happened. I was finally able to let that shit go.
I told a friend about how I was tying these two things together and she said “if you taught a Rage Yoga class, I would definitely come!”
This is how I started teaching classes at Dickens Pub, a badass bar in Calgary, Alberta. Word got out and suddenly it took off in a way I never expected! Since then we’ve led retreats, workshop tours, certified teachers and even published a book. We’re on a mission to help people step into their most badass selves.
We hope to rage with you soon,
-Lindsay
