Lyndsey McGuire
Lyndsey McGuire graduated from Indiana University in 2003 with a degree in English Education. In 2004, she moved to Colorado and began practicing yoga. In 2006, she traveled to India to receive her 200 hour Yoga Teacher training certificate from the Foundation of Pathanjali Yoga Kendra in Bangalore. The following year she returned to India to complete her 500 Hour Yoga Teacher training. Immersing herself in the Ashtanga Yoga Tradition, she developed her own sitting practice as an extension of her asana practice. Using her own life and body as a laboratory, she began to see the immense benefits of living an attentive life. With many hours of practice under her belt and a perennial thirst for knowledge, she sought out as many teachings as she could about the art of mindfulness and what it means to be fully embodied in the present moment. Her search led her to Adyashanti, Jack Kornfield, Ram Dass, Pema Chodron, and Tara Brach—all American teachers who had found a wellspring of knowledge and practices from the far East. Raised in a Christian home, but utterly transformed by her time in India, Lyndsey’s teachings are a distillate of varied traditions that all aim at one thing: deep immersion in a soulful life.
In addition to practicing yoga and meditation, Lyndsey has been a writer for her entire adult life. She competed for membership and earned a spot on the 2009 Denver Mercury Cafe Slam Poetry Team, and then competed at the 2009 National Poetry Slam. Her poetry has appeared in the Borderlands Texas Poetry Review.
In 2022, Lyndsey joined a writing group that was inspired by Natalie Goldberg’s book “Writing Down the Bones.” Riveted by the quality of work that came from the group when writers were encouraged to keep their pens moving and write whatever arose in the moment, she was motivated to begin facilitating her own groups. Through the teachings of Natalie Goldberg, she saw the corollary between writing and mindfulness practice, and her classes became a natural extension of those two great loves. Lyndsey hosts three to four online writing group sessions a year, and is currently writing a memoir.
