Linda Lopes is a yoga, meditation, and Reiki practitioner based in Brooklyn, New York, serving youth and adults. She discovered her mat a decade ago through a mentor, whom she always refers to as the catalyst for change in her life. While in search of happiness, joy, and love, she soon realized that what she and most of us long for can be found within. 

As a founding teacher at GaneshSpace, she actively creates and holds spaces for Black people, Indigenous people, and all people of color to come together and heal. She strongly believes that it is in the power of brave, authentic, trusting, and loving communities that we can create change in the world.
