It feels like Summer still, but Fall is here. We are near the end of the season for our garden, we have been adding zucchini and tomatoes to almost everything! If you have a zucchini recipe you love, please send it my way. We have made zucchini bread, muffins, pancakes, fritters, soup, buttery zucchini with pasta, and a zucchini frittata!
I can't believe it has been a year since I partnered with Des Plaines Park District and opened the new yoga studio at Lakeview Center. Back in October 2024 we had three instructors and only a few classes. Now there are five instructors, more class options, more props in the studio AND we have an option to drop in for classes. I am so grateful for all of the growth and love sharing yoga in this beautiful space.
This summer at Lakeview Center has been absolutely beautiful. We have enjoyed watching people fishing, on the paddle boats and sailing on Lake Opeka. Our little corner of Des Plaines has been filled with families grilling, picnicing, people taking the dog for a walk, birthday parties at the pavilions. A true community gathering space open for all.
Chair Yoga at LVC with Lindsay
This class is designed for students who may be recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, have limited range or mobility, and folks who want to avoid going down to the floor. Chair Yoga will offer all of the benefits of a traditional yoga class, while utilizing the chair to support your practice. This class will increase strength, circulation, and flexibility while offering ease and relaxation.
Mondays 1-1:45pm
10/20-11/17
$65 Resident/ $70 Non-Resident
Code # 256031-2
✨Restorative Yoga & Guided Meditation
Thursdays 7-8pm with Maureen
This class uses props, such as bolsters and blocks, to help support a relaxing practice. Participants are encouraged to settle into postures for longer periods of time to release tension and increase flexibility. In this class we pair a Restorative Yoga practice with a guided meditation so you will leave feeling centered and relaxed. (She also has some Sunday Restorative options!)
The Yoga Studio at Lakeview Center is stocked with cork blocks to bring the floor closer to you, blankets to keep you cozy, long sturdy straps to help deepen your forward folds, bolsters to support your restful poses and yoga mats in case you forget yours at home.
Lakeview Center is located at
1177 Howard Ave, Des Plaines
(If you have dined at The Foxtail on The Lake, the studio entrance is just to the left of the restaurant entrance.)
Parking can be tricky when the restaurant is busy. There is plenty of street parking when the lot is full.

Chair Yoga

If you are unfamiliar with Frisbie Senior Center, I encourage you to check it out. There is always something going on. They offer line dancing, Pinochle, Zumba, Bingo, special events, group outings and much more.
I am also still teaching on Tuesday nights over at Prairie Lakes. We have plenty of space for drop in participants in the Mountain View rooms.
(Slow Flow 6-7pm & Vinyasa 7:30-8:30pm)
If you had asked me six years ago where I would be teaching, I obviously would have said "Twisted Tree Yoga Studio." I will admit I sometimes get lost in the what if of it all. Then I take a breath and come back to right here, right now. This moment at this time.
The present. What an absolute gift.
I am so very grateful and absolutely know that this is what I am meant to be doing.
With great love and deep gratitude,
Lindsay
