Welcome to Kamena Yoga!
Hi, I’m Lynn McGowan, creator of Kamena Yoga. I help busy women and men to relax and lead healthier, more connected and fulfilling lives by teaching them yoga for stress relief, both in-person and online.
Over my 30 years of studying, practicing, and teaching yoga, I can tell you yoga isn’t solely about twisting yourself into bendy poses or building physical strength. Yoga is bigger than that.
Yoga is about leveraging the doorway of your body to cultivate the qualities of kamena--intentionality, knowing, freedom, and deep love--within yourself so you feel more resilient on every level of your being, no matter what curveballs life throws your way.
YOGA FOR STRESS RELIEF: IT’S TIME TO RELAX
Let’s face it, the world is a stressful place.
You’ve got bills brimming from your mailbox and inbox, laundry overflowing from your hamper, garbage cans that always seem full, avalanches of emails and text messages, pings and business meetings, carpools and doctor appointments. Oh, and how could we forget: social media overload?
You’ve got a stiff neck and a few too many knots in your back. You’re no stranger to untimely headaches. And when you spend time with friends and family, you’re distracted and plagued by a nagging underlying anxiety. If you’re honest, life feels like something you have to survive.
Burnout is real. But feeling frazzled is a natural response. Only a robot wouldn’t get overwhelmed by the modern world’s daily demands!
And every day it starts...All. Over. Again.
But there is hope: Kamena Yoga for Stress Relief.

Access To Deep Relaxation Is Your Birthright
Can you honestly and confidently say you know how to counteract stress and anxiety as needed?
Do you want to feel more relaxed in your body more often?
I’ll tell you something you may not realize: your body is designed to relax. So is your mind. You just need the right approach and the right commitment.
Kamena Yoga for stress relief helps you to relax and enjoy your experience of being in your body, whatever it is you do--working, eating, resting, or spending time with loved ones. And you better connect with those around you. Your health improves. Your life improves.
This is why yoga for stress and anxiety isn’t just a hobby. It’s essential.
Why You Need Yoga for Stress Management Today More Than Ever Before
The Gallup 2019 Global Emotions Report surveyed 150,000 people from 140 countries in 2018 and found North Americans were among the most stressed people in the world.[1]
A couple of years later, with 2020’s unique challenges, matters had far from improved.[2]
Now, countless people across the World have transitioned from offices to working from home. In a culture where we’ve always glorified the weekend warrior, it’s all too easy for the seeming comfort of a work-from-home setup to turn into a nonstop work-round-the-clock nightmare.
It’s now urgently necessary to:
✔️ Care for your body by moving, stretching, and strengthening it to ward off stiffness, tension, and lethargy.
✔️ Care for your mind by giving yourself time and space to restore, to simply be instead of do.
Yoga for stress relief has become more important than ever.
My joy is helping you become present, connect with your body, and alleviate stress from your everyday life. With over 30 years of experience in the field of teaching, training, and hands-on application in yoga, I’ve developed an intuitive ability to feel, see, and hear the muscle tension that underlies stress, as well as the psycho-emotional-spiritual cascade excessive stress can trigger.
In my in-person and online yoga classes, I work with you as a whole person--physical, mental, emotional, intuitive, and spiritual--so you can access optimal health, freedom and resilience at every level of your being.
