8) What do you love about Greece ? I fell in love with Athens almost immediately. There is an energy and vibrancy here that is magnetic. The Greek people are so warm and friendly. For me, it’s like NYC where I think of the street as a destination—an experience. The streets of Athens are filled with amazing street art, antiquities, musicians, and of course the tavernas. The simple act of taking a walk is an adventure.
9) Tell us something most people don’t know about you: I learned to row in my 40s and rowed competitively as an adult for over 10 years. My claim to fame is a third-place medal at the Head of the Charles. Such a thrill. 🙂
10) Where we are most likely to find you in Lynn’s Kundalini Yoga: The roof deck, the islands for holiday, the gong bath.
11) First time you tried Kundalini Yoga? I started in the spring of 2017. I had a major life change and somehow wound up in a Kundalini class. The studio was in a small town outside of New York City. It took me a long time to be able to sit still. But within weeks of attending 2 classes a week (plus my usual yang practice) I had the most amazing spiritual experiences. Kundalini Yoga took to me to new places.
12) Anything else you’d like us to know? I’m excited to announce our 5-day challenge, Super-Charge Your Doctor Visits. Over 5 days, we’ll cover how to get the most out of your appointments with your doctor, nurse practitioner, or any healthcare provider so that you get personalized care tailored to you and your family. At the end of the week, you’ll be able to turn those sometimes frustrating, less-than-productive doctor visits into empowering sources of exceptional support! This means better health for you and your circle of love. 🙂
