Lynn Castilla
FOUNDER OF HELD
Lynn, a Yoga instructor and Creative Grief Support Coach, discovered yoga in childhood, practicing with her Nana to Lilias Folan's TV program. Her experience in hospice nursing deepened her dedication to personal growth and living authentically through self-compassion and exploring the unknown. Today, she shares yoga as a tool for self-healing and meaning-making, fostering love and transformation through creative expression, embodiment practices, and enriching conversations. She founded Held, a sanctuary promoting refuge, inspiration, and authentic living. Off the mat, Lynn can be found in her garden or walking in the idyllic Portuguese countryside with her dog and companion, Jyo.

Lynn has studied yoga with Bhavani Sylvia Maki, Sarah Ewing, Leticia Ziebell and Sofia Araujo
