Off The Mat: Ancient Yoga Meets Modern Life Coaching

The physical practice of yoga is just the beginning. Yoga is a sophisticated system that extends far beyond physical postures; it is literally a way of living your best life. The grounded, passionate, meaningful version of you that is on your yoga mat is possible in your life and off your mat. In “Off the Mat” we will examine the Yamas and Niyamas of the Yoga Sutras and for all ten you will receive a Life Coach’s tool to apply the principle to your life. At the completion of this workshop, you will have a first draft of your personal Core Values, your Life Rules to actualize your Core Values, and an actionable pathway to accomplishing the seemingly insurmountable goals you have in your life, in addition to several other tools and methods that you can implement into your daily life off of your yoga mat.
I created this program from the daily tools I use in my own life. Expect powerful Baptiste-y accountability and inspirational pushes towards your best self.
This module can be taught in two ways:
- Weekend Immersion - 2 days in person, 7 hours per day
- Virtually over 6 weeks - 2 hours per session
This program is for anyone who wants to dig deeper into living their most true, centered, powerful and inspired self. This program is not only for yoga teachers – anyone will benefit from this module. 30 hours of Continuing Education which can be registered by Yoga Alliance.

“I really enjoyed Off the Mat. It gave me a lot of clarity around things that I've already known were important for a long time. All of the resources Lindsey provided were so helpful and made diving into such a personal topic easy and fun! I absolutely LOVED the part of the training where Lindsey taught us some of the tools she uses in life coaching. I found it very applicable in several areas of my life, especially in facilitating more yoga trainings.” – C. Kilgroe
“I signed up for the Off The Mat workshop with the hope of stoking my passion for my yoga practice and to better understand how to practice the non-physical side of yoga every day. What I received from this time was so much more. It was a weekend where I stoked my passion for living life to its fullest. The comprehensive study of the Yamas and Niyamas connected so many dots for me personally, and to have those principles as help in identifying and articulating my life goals and my core values was extremely valuable to me. And to top it off, I met and connected with some very lovely folks, as well as with our thoughtful and amazing counselor and guide, Lindsey. I am very grateful to all for creating and offering such an important workshop.” – E. Burks
“I signed up for this workshop because I was neck deep in the shit of responsibilities and obligations; the struggle to find a work/life balance was taking its toll on myself and my relationships. The work Lindsey had us do provided effective tools for me to truly be honest with myself, balance my schedule and actually figure what I should be spending my time and energy on in the first place. It's practice, not perfection and when implementing the work I have greater awareness of what my values are, the courage to say no when necessary, more presence with my people, and a sense of contentment in place of being overwhelmed. Q2 all the way!” – S. Loomis
Off The Mat put me in a safe space to explore my character, motivation, and grief. I have been going to personal therapy for almost three years and this workshop gave me something I had never experienced: a clear idea of who I am without any labels or narratives. I am more confident in myself after just one weekend!! – C. Trively
