Lynn Austin lalka

Lynn began practicing yoga in 2007 and began to deepen her practice in 2010 when she moved to New Orleans and found her home practice community at Swan River Yoga.

Her formal training began in 2013 with the 350-hour teacher training at Swan River. Additional education has included more than 80 hours in therapeutic alignment, a 36-hour Prenatal Yoga teacher training, 30 hours of SATYA (Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement) with Tias Little, and Reiki I certification.

Lynn loves creating classes that balance tranquility with just the right amount of challenge. Her favorite yoga sutra, Sthira Sukham Asanam—the idea that a posture should be both steady and comfortable—beautifully reflects her teaching approach.

At the heart of her work is the belief that yoga should feel safe, supportive, and accessible to every body. Known for clear alignment cues and thoughtful modifications, she helps students shape the practice in a way that truly serves them.
