My name is Lynette Rintoul, and I am a teacher in Santa Barbara at Source Yoga Studio and Santa Barbara Athletic Club and intermittently in Long Beach at Yoga World Studios. I am available for private lessons to individuals or groups; for more intensive work, I am available as a personal yoga coach, providing personal consultation and follow-up to help you establish your own yoga practice. Please enjoy exploring my not-so-tech "tek" side, and feel free to contact me with any questions or thoughts by clicking the "E-Mail" tab to the right (Lynette@Lynettek.com). Best wishes on your journey!

Click the "Classes" tab to the right for dates I'll be teaching around town. Generally, I teach an All Levels class at S.B. Athletic Club on Mondays, 7-8 a.m. Occasional classes at Source Yoga and around-town subbing as announced -- join my mailing list to be notified of class times!

Intermittently, I teach at Yoga World (Los Altos studio off Bellflower at the Bristol Farms shopping center). Nothing is currently on the schedule, but stay tuned ... (and submit your requests!)

I conduct Nature & Yoga retreats for small groups (usually 4-10 people) at beautiful locations in the Santa Barbara area. If you have your own group who would like a retreat, I can structure one around your needs and interests. In general, retreats are open to students of all levels; beginners are especially invited to attend. The retreats will emphasize the fundamental aspects of a yoga practice -- using a full and authentic breath; aligning the body properly; strengthening the core; using correct and balanced effort in the poses; working wisely with the body's limits; relaxing completely; and dropping into meditation. Click the "Retreats" tab to the right to learn more!

To prepare students for their retreats, I send e-mails educating them on various aspects of yoga, and I offer these readings for free to anyone interested in being on the list. Click on "Writings" tab to the right to peruse the samples. To receive future writings by email, just click "E-Mail" and ask to be put on the list!
