Lynda’s Story

Site created on June 14, 2021

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.


Lynda's REAL story is about how many lives she has touched and changed in the most positive way! She started and continues to grow a successful business in Chelan, WA, Yogachelan (yogachelan.com). Her degrees in kinesiology and clinical psychology as well as 2 years as a nurse, combined with extensive yoga certifications make Lynda's yoga classes very special in that she provides in-depth scientific information on why and how each stretch or movement works.  When Lynda teaches it's an amazing melding of education, encouragement, adaptation to specific needs, and more - all delivered via a gentle unscripted voice with magically timed cues to help your body and mind align perfectly.



On May 3, 2021 Lynda was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a type of cancer that starts in the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow.  She has been in the hospital since before May 3rd.  After several days in the ICU, she was transferred to the oncology floor to begin 7 straight days of harsh chemotherapy, which was a roller coaster ride.

Tribute from Diane Leigh

Journal entry by Diane Leigh —

I wrote this tribute on 9/3/21, a date that did not look promising for Lynda, and Chris was able to read it to her.  

Please tell Lynda that I am so grateful that she came into my life and to share her many gifts, to be such a powerful teacher, and to help me see the world in a different way. My life is so much richer because of her. Lynda enjoyed a life well lived and well shared, and she is ready for the next chapter - full of blue butterfly moments.
