Lindsay McDonough (she/they) has been a student of yoga for 25 years, and teaching since 2014. You may recognize her name from Metta Studios, a previously co-owned studio in Biddeford, Maine. Outside of yoga, Lindsay has been a special education teacher for 17 years and brings a commitment to making yoga classes accessible for folks with and without disabilities.
Lindsay teaches with a whole-hearted curiosity and delights in their students learning something new about themselves each time they show up.
Lindsay is a firm believer in the physical and emotional, long-lasting benefits of yoga and aims to make classes inclusive. They believe you are your best teacher. Lindsay loves offering props as powerful teaching tools.
Sessions with Lindsay often focus on the healing aspects of yoga through functional movement– especially for the nervous system, self-regulation, body awareness, and the core and pelvic floor.
Lindsay offers group classes, workshops, and private sessions. No matter the format Lindsay brings with her a no-flow kind of approach to getting curious about what the body and brain can do.

Alignment-based, functional, inclusive yoga! Poses will be modified for individuals. Curiosity is encouraged. Prop use is creative and useful. If you learn something about yourself you're doing it right.
Available In-person and Online
Each individualized yoga session is different. Your goals and needs are at the forefront of the practice. I incorporate traditional and therapeutic (gentle and restorative) yoga teachings, postures, and techniques that support your body and your healing.
$495 for 5 60 minute sessions (preferred package)

It is common for me to meet with students weekly, or bi-weekly so that they gain familiarity and are accountable for being an integral part in the study of yoga.
I appreciate your understanding.
So glad to have found the prenatal class with Lindsay at Metta Studios during my pregnancy! A great opportunity to move your body in ways that feel safe and healthy as your body changes. More than that, Lindsay creates an amazing, welcoming space to connect with other moms, and shares so much helpful information about pregnancy, labor, and post-partum.
I was lucky enough to find this beautiful studio during my vacation in Maine. I’d encourage anyone in the area to go if they can. Lindsay is both so warm and welcoming and they made me feel right at home. I will most definitely be back when I’m in the area. Thank you for being my yoga away from home. It means a lot to find a wonderful place to practice when I’m away!
Lindsay is such an amazing advocate ❤️
Motherhood, is so so hard but it is so much more rewarding than anything else in existence....Thank you for your support.
I can’t imagine what my pregnancy would have looked like if it wasn’t for Lindsay and her prenatal yoga classes. My entire life I have been fearful of being pregnant, and giving birth, and spending my entire first trimester with all-day sickness didn’t help calm those fears. Meeting Lindsay truly turned my pregnancy around, her classes eased both my discomfort and my mind. She creates a safe, fun and comfortable space to discuss pregnancy and all that comes with it, without any judgement. Although it was a group class she was attentive to each person and made adjustments to poses as needed. I specifically needed modifications because I had diastasis recti and Lindsay was always checking in to make sure poses were comfortable and not making the separation worse. Because of Lindsay I felt empowered through the rest of my pregnancy, I was calm, I felt prepared. I brought my yoga mat to the hospital with me and labored for 17 hours pain-medication free, concentrating on my breath, easing discomfort with yoga, and calming my mind with birth affirmations, one of which she wrote for me “My body knows how to give birth to my baby”.
I have found Lindsay to be a wealth of knowledge and a skilled transmitter of this knowledge. She is friendly, attentive, and has the ability to address the needs of everyone in her class at the same time. Lindsay is able to take a student at her level and patiently and possibly slowly take her to the next level. When thinking about Lindsay, one must also reflect on her spirit, friendliness, and enthusiasm. She lights up the room—it is an honor to be her student.
Lindsay is professional, courteous, trauma informed, welcoming, and engaging. I felt instantly connected to Lindsay the moment I stepped into my first session with her. Her caring nature is palpable. She creates an open and welcoming space for EVERY BODY and is constantly learning new ways to create safer spaces for students. Lindsay’s passion for helping people reconnect with their bodies is inspiring. When I take a lesson with her, Lindsay reminds me to stay so in touch with my body that I take off my teacher hat for a short time! I am grateful to have her in my life!
Lindsay creates an incredibly inviting, warm and safe environment to practice yoga holding space for everyone to be exactly who they are. Her genuine enthusiasm and passion are infectious. Truly one of my favorite yoga teachers of all time!
Lindsay is warm, engaging and real.
She listens - I mentioned areas of pain; the poses and suggestions have made such a difference.
Lindsay handles diversity seamlessly - I am older, when suggesting adaptation to a pose, she do so in a way that builds confidence and in time ability.
I love the way Lindsay works through yoga poses, nice and slow, with lots of well timed cues that I can relate to. I appreciate Lindsay's meaningful explanations. I have made attempts at yoga in the past; but I gave up, feeling overwhelmed and unsuccessful. I see slow steady progress as I attend under her guidance.
Lindsay is off her mat helping students make adjustments. She offers lots of props for alignment and enhancement. I love it!
