Wendy Lippmann, LMP

OmTown Yoga Founder

Wendy experienced the healing potential of yoga in 1990 when a back injury prompted her to seek out yoga classes. She studied regularly for five years with Treya Forlenza, benefitting from Treya’s eclectic and playful approach to yoga and movement. While growing a thriving massage therapy practice, Wendy taught yoga at several Seattle locations, including All That Dance, before founding OmTown Yoga in 2003. In 1997, Wendy joined the teaching staff at Seattle Yoga Arts under the tutelage of Denise Benitez, who continues to be her primary teacher today. Denise introduced Wendy to Anusara Yoga and its founder John Friend, who has been an inspiring influence. Wendy is inspired by Anusara Yoga and embraces the heart-opening, exuberant spirit of Anusara. She is known to teach with clarity, precision and humor. Wendy's classes combine vinyasa (moderately-paced movement and breathing sequences), with lessons in sound biomechanical principles, spiritual inspiration and humor.
