Lynn S. Brown, RYT 200, RM, is the owner and teacher at Sunrise Yoga. Lynn has been practicing yoga since 1984, and has been teaching yoga since 2002. In 2002, she was certified by It’s Yoga in Cincinnati, Ohio to teach Ashtanga, Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga. She is registered with Yoga Alliance at the 200 hour level, and is currently working toward the advanced level (500- hour certification) at Yoga on High in Columbus, Ohio.

          During the years of her yoga practice, Lynn experienced the many benefits that a consistent yoga practice can offer. In addition to greater comfort and ease in her body, she also gained greater emotional stability and the ability to weather the turmoils of life with more calmness and clarity. Over time, she developed a deep passion for yoga! She continues to be challenged and amazed at the possibilities that yoga offers for a fuller, richer experience of life.

          It became her dream to be able to share the life- transforming gift of yoga with others and to create a yoga community in Jackson and the surrounding area. That dream became a reality with the opening of Sunrise Yoga in Jackson, Ohio, in March, 2008. After leaving a career of teaching children with special needs, she devoted herself fully to this dream. “It has been the most exciting thing in my life to watch this bud begin to grow and blossom.”

          Lynn loves teaching and making the practice of yoga accessible to everyone! She is inspired by watching students make progress and discover the benefits of yoga that yogis have known for thousands of years. An unexpected benefit of teaching has been the gifts that she receives from her students. Lynn feels that she learns as much from them as they do from her!

          Lynn has lived in the Jackson area for over 25 years, where she raised four beautiful children. She shares her life with her husband, Don, who has been and continues to be her biggest blessing and support.
