About Lynsey

Lynsey is the owner and full time steward of  Nomad Retreat Center in South Paris Maine. Maine Ganja Yoga was her first yoga business.
Lynsey began studying and practicing yoga while detoxing from opiates in her early 20’s. Being without painkillers left her suffering with chronic pain, and facing the mental components of addiction. She began reading from literature such as The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and the Bhagavad Gita, and implementing meditation into her daily life. As she regained her health, Lynsey began embracing modified versions of yoga asana (postures) as a means of physical therapy to help heal her body in a way that was safe and balanced. Lynsey did her first yoga teacher training in summer of 2016 and has since completed thousands of hours of independent study and continuing education, furthering her certification to become a 500hrRYT/YACEP. Lynsey loves studying and sharing yoga whenever possible.

"One of the most significant thing that I have learned from studying and practicing Yoga is that our bodies, our minds, and our hearts are attuned to the Divine, They are valuable teachers if we become devoted enough students to learn from them." -Lynsey Tamposi, founder of Maine Ganja Yoga & Nomad Retreat Center
