WELCOME!

I am Linda Freeman. I live in the beautiful state of Vermont. My work is all about fitness – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Full Moon Hike, Bolton, Tara Dugan

Welcome to my website. Here you will find shared information, positivity, encouragement and connection. You will read words that promote living life to the fullest in the best ways possible relevant to individual and personal environments and capabilities. I will share my own thoughts and actions in hope that you might find a way to reframe your own experience to promote self-awareness, gratitude and joy.

What you will NOT find is anything particularly new or momentous. I borrow from the work that others much smarter than I have done. I pass along bits and pieces of insight highlighted by my yellow marker as I read and work with words that are meaningful to me.  Words like: receptive, bold, courageous, playful, optimistic, kind, curious, willing and mindful.

This year I embrace the words courage and creativity and do my best to practice some form of each in my daily life. (another word I love is quotidian) As I teach, borrowing from my deep training in Yin Yoga, I urge intention and attention. Though I have a history of structure, diligence and determination in order to get it done, I advocate flow, imagination, inspiration and motivation.

As I strive to learn and grow, I find myself stepping outside my comfort zone ever so sightly each day – and urge you to do the same. For me it has been a return to teaching live, in studio, joining a book club and participating in a meditation course, learning to include breath work and mindfulness at the open and close of each day.

I am a Personal Trainer and Yoga Instructor. A list of my professional certifications and credentials is long and boring. I am particularly grateful that in recent years I have trained intensively in many forms of Yoga. Though I am RYT500, I continually participate in trainings and workshops so that I can teach the best of the best. As part of a Teachers’ Collective for the Summers School of Yin Yoga, I am continuously inspired and challenged by my colleagues and teachers.

Hiking with Sophie and Lizzie

I teach classes and work with clients on Zoom and, in special situations, in person. My love of exercise and training underpins all that I do and share. So, be warned! I love the outdoors and spend hours daily in the woods and mountains, on trails and country roads – always with my beloved labs, Sophie and Lizzie, who insist that I take care of all of us by so doing. A former road cyclist, I now find my way each day to my Peloton bike. Do I ride randomly? Of course not. I am a Team Lead for challenge events and training organized by Power Zone Pack.

Finally, but also primarily, I am a family person. I am Mama Bear with two families of cubs, and oh so fortunate to have my children and grandchildren living just an hour away. Family is paramount. It is the very definition of connection, love, care and selflessness. 

Come journey with me through the pages of my website; connect, and live beautifully.
