Kate Crews Linsley

Trent Nelson  |  The Salt Lake Tribune
Former Ballet West dancer Kate Crews Linsley is now retired and teaching yoga; she is working with Centered City Yoga owner D'ana Baptiste to launch a new non-profit community yoga program, IN BODY LIFE, that will offer community training programs, such as for people who suffer PTSD. Kate and other yogis teach that if you can learn to slow down your reactions on the mat -- sort of detach yourself from the experience of pain or anger or whatever on the mat, then you can take that same learned experience to calm your reactions when things come up in your life, off the mat. Linsley was photographed at Centered City Yoga in Salt Lake City, Utah, Tuesday, March 22, 2011.
