Student Testimonials

Lindsay and Jesse are easy to choose

Ellie

"Lindsay and Jesse were my facilitators for my 200hr yoga practice in Costa Rica 2018.

Lindsay is effortless and very explanatory in her Ayurveda teachings, she has presence and a grace about her that I have never really met in anybody else.

Jesse is a very hands on teacher, you instantly feel safe when he is around. He always puts his students at ease.

Together they finish each other's sentences off and the love that they have for each other and yoga is unmeasurable.

Lindsay and Jesse are easy to choose, I cannot explain it you’ll have to feel it and see it for yourself.

A very special duo indeed."

"We have had the pleasure of working with Samata Living quite a bit and couldn’t be more pleased with our experience.
From private yoga instruction (on location we might add!, reiki healing, and health coaching, all the to management of our website and media needs, it was a wonderful experience.
The team is talented, educated, warm and friendly and are definitely professionals in their craft. Do yourself a favor and give them a try- you will not be disappointed!

Her encouragement and kindness makes me feel confident.

Betsy

"Lindsay's knowledge of yoga and her style of instruction is a great fit for me. She will personalize a program to your specifications, monitor progress and benefits and adjust as necessary. Her encouragement and kindness makes me feel confident. Which in turn makes me want to try new things, push a little harder and gain greater benefit. She's flexible with scheduling and always looking out for what's best for you!"

Lindsay has skill and intuition beyond her years.

Lynn

"I would wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay in any capacity she endeavors. As a personal yoga coach, she met me precisely where I needed to help me attain my desired goals. She has been my Ayurvedic guide as well. Lindsay has skill and intuition beyond her years. Lindsay is one of the most gifted teachers I’ve known."

Attentive, closely attuned to your physical, mental, and spiritual needs

LD Russell

"When Lindsay Richards first walked into my college classroom, I quickly noticed her open mind and heart and the remarkable potential she possessed both as a student and as a person. The one thing she lacked, as with so many at that tender age, was an awareness of her own tremendous gifts and the confidence to body them forth in the world around her. One day after we had come to know one another better, she expressed, almost in passing as if this wish could never become a reality, her life-long desire to explore Ireland. My response was simply, “Well, why don’t you?” It was an unexpectedly electric moment, as if a laser had come to light in her eyes. While I helped her think through how she might pool her resources to make this journey happen, the excitement that rose up within her left the air around us charged with energy. Before she graduated, Lindsay made that long-awaited trip to her beloved country, and to this day one of my prized possessions is a framed photo of her sitting on Ireland’s west coast, back to the camera, looking out across the Atlantic to her American homeland so far away. There simply are no words for how inspired I have been and continue to be by Lindsay’s courage and determination to explore her deep potential and fulfill her passions. These are the same fine qualities Lindsay brings to her work at Samata Living, yet another of her dreams-become-reality. I can assure you that those fortunate enough to spend time in her presence, so genuine and caring, will be the better for it. Whether in a yoga session, lecture, workshop, or other healing activity, you will find her to be attentive, closely attuned to your physical, mental, and spiritual needs, and fully capable of fashioning a program best suited to help you move toward deeper, lasting health. Like me, you will no doubt be grateful to have walked a portion of your path alongside this remarkable woman."

Funny, warm and very professional!

Kristi

"We hired Lindsay to teach a yoga class to my family and friends from out of town the day before my wedding! It was a great family activity and way to calm down before going into the BIG day! We were supposed to do it on the beach outside our beach house but the weather was bad so Lindsay made it work! She was super flexible, interested in everyone, funny, warm and very professional! It was so much fun and a staple to a great weekend! Even my Uncle John participated! 🤣 He was a little stiff but got a lot out of it! I can’t wait to hire Samata Living the next time we have a lot of family in town or for any occasion for that matter!"
