Lynda "Cricket" Hackney, RYT, Yoga Therapist, Nia Black Belt

Cricket began her yoga study in 1997 with a yoga book and a desire to deepen her spiritual journey and improve her physical and emotional health. She made a very conscious personal decision to actively pursue a pathway to health and to find her way out of a cycle of chronic disease and depression. As her health slowly improved she began to study with various local yoga teachers. After a workshop with Peggy Kelley of Austin yoga school Cricket decided to take Peggy’s yoga teacher training program. From Peggy she learned the Iyengar approach to yoga alignment and form. Cricket then went on to study with Michelle Andre of Priya Yoga Dallas. With Michelle she found freedom of expression in the yoga poses and an emphasis on breath and grounding to fully release and find a deeper connection to joy. Cricket completed the 200-hour level of teacher training with Michelle in 2003 and went on to complete the 500-hour yoga therapist program in 2005 with Michelle. Also in 2005, she completed training in Thai yoga massage with Martin Misenhimer of Zen Thai Massage in New York.

Cricket began her Nia practice in 1998 and fell deeply in love with this joyful movement practice. She took the White Belt Nia teacher training in 1999, progressing through Blue, Brown and finally Black Belt in 2006. She has studied Nia with its founders, Carlos and Debbie Rosas, as well as with trainers Deb Kern, Helen Terry and Holly Curtis.
