The Instructor

Linda Leseberg is a Yogi both in the studio and out. "Yoga is not only a wonderful practice on the mat," Linda says, "but also off the mat, in our daily lives. We breathe better, work better, sleep better, play better, and enjoy life more." Her conclusion: "Everything goes better with yoga!"

Linda grew up in Camden. After high school graduation, she attended nearby Ouachita Baptist University. Receiving her bachelor's degree, she went on to earn her master's from George Peabody College (now the Education School of Vanderbilt University). She taught high school English for several years and then joined the faculty at Southern Arkansas University Tech, where she taught composition and psychology and served as the college's publicist.

Linda first practiced Yoga in her late 20's, but confesses to becoming a "lapsed yogi" while raising her sons Robert and Dennis. She and her husband Kenny enjoy two grandchildren, Chelsea and Nicky.

In 2002 Linda returned to yoga and soon made an important discovery: she not only wanted to continue her practice, she wanted to share this marvelous system of wellness with others! After becoming a Registered Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance, Linda brought yoga to SAU Tech in the fall of 2003. Soon she resigned her position at Tech to teach yoga full-time.

Now Linda and Kenny (who is an enthusiastic supporter and practices yoga himself) own The Yoga Studio, a former Jewish synagogue near Camden's historical district. Her students often express appreciation for its ambience of serenity. A committed Christian, Linda feels the setting "is perfect for helping people honor their bodies and the God who calls us to take care of them." This tranquil studio is the site of Linda's classes where she teaches people of all ages and fitness levels. For those wanting to worship God with their whole selves, she also teaches a free yoga class on Saturdays called "Outstretched in Worship."

Linda believes there is a class at the studio for everybody, because she believes yoga is for every body! She and Kenny invite you to come and discover for yourself what yoga can do for you!
