Lina first discovered Yoga in 1997. Yoga improved the quality of her life as she gained physical strength, balance, and focus. In the year 2000, she traveled to Hoshiarpur, India where she was introduced to Vipassana Meditation under Sh. Prem Prakash Sharma. Inspired to share her discoveries with others, Lina completed a 200-hour teacher training program at It’s Yoga San Francisco, where she studied Ashtanga Yoga with Larry Schultz, Katie Cariffe, and Marie Hajjar. She continues to learn from, and is inspired by, local teachers such as Darren Main, Jehfree Spirit and Karl Erb. She is registered with Yoga Alliance (RYT 29958).
