OCEAN ARTS~ Todd Lynd

A professional modern dancer in her youth, she turned to yoga later on and brought it to her community in Beaufort, SC, when it was still most rare. As the owner of the now renowned Yoga Chandra Center for the Healing Arts, at the Lady’s Island Marina, she brought a deep understanding to the artistry, mechanics, and emotional language of the body to us all. She used the principles of yoga as an art-science to explore the vastness of our inner universe and how it poetically relates to our outer environment. She trained many and facilitated healing through her knowledge of countless disciplines. A natural and understated master yogi, and a true, humble leader in the community, she effected life after life, with unparalleled generosity and authenticity.

Her extensive travel abroad deepened her yoga practice, her love of nature and of cultural and spiritual diversity. At this time, her son AJ wishes to continue to promote his mother’s dream with yoga, and is already planning on teaching the classes his mother lived her life for. In passing, we are certain that her biggest concern would be for her son AJ’s welfare. Please consider donating any sum of money to this cause on her website Paypal account (Paypal button can be found under the obituary). These funds will go directly to assisting AJ.

A memorial service will also be announced in the following weeks, here on her web site:

Kim is survived by her son AJ, her siblings Kelly and Greg, her nieces Georgia and Emma, her nephews Clayton and Jayme Perry, and by a legion of loving students and friends.

Funeral home: Anderson Funeral Home

Sitting in the middle of No Where/Jungle Yoga/Thailand surrounded by the beauty, mystery, and lineage of this place that holds so much sacred to me.  The merging of 2 photos speaks volumes to me.
 

The Grande Palace where Dr. Shivago ,who was Buddha’s Physician and also the founder of Thai Yoga Bodywork, adorns the Temple.  I am deeply moved by the high place of honor and respect that this humble man holds…a kind of joy and sadness.  In one breath, remembering that “Dr. Zhivago” was one of my Moms favorite movies…a love story.  Exhaling… into the reality that I carried her here with me…heavy on my shoulders, deep in my heart, and in my cells.

Striving like Hannaman, in the background, to carry my load of loss with strength, grace, and always…love.

The gesture of the hand in the foreground representing the connections of our inner and outer worlds.  A mudra made…the arms and hands are an expression of the heart.

Bright Blessings,

kim

Standing leg is like a ray of light that connects you to Venus.  Reach up through your fingertips connecting with the Mystery and Magic. Each finger is connected to a Chakra, a meridian, a kosha, etc… and Breathe ..You are Alive.  (This is just one aspect to practice)
