About Christy Lynn
Founder of Elevation Central | Yoga Teacher | Consultant | Wellness Mentor
I’ve spent my life bridging two worlds...the high-achieving pace of corporate America and the grounded, soulful path of Yoga...and I believe true transformation happens when we integrate them.
Before founding Elevation Central, my boutique wellness training and integration center just outside of Nashville, I spent 10 years in the corporate world as a Satellite Engineer, General Manager, & Senior Project Manager for 3 multi-million dollar companies. I learned how to lead, manage complexity, and thrive in high-pressure environments, but over time, I also learned that success without alignment leaves us disconnected, stressed, and searching for more.
That search led me to Yoga nearly 30 years ago...and it felt like coming home.
For 15 years, I owned and operated Yoga Blend, a thriving community studio in Los Angeles, where I taught thousands of students and certified hundreds of yoga teachers. I had the honor of collaborating with gifted teachers from around the world, sharing practical, empowering tools for living a more joyful, connected life.
In 2020, life invited me into a new chapter. I returned to my Tennessee roots and founded Elevation Central...a space for meaningful connection, holistic training, conscious leadership, and embodied integration.
Today, I help others do the same.
I guide yoga teachers, wellness practitioners, conscious entrepreneurs, and seekers of all kinds to reconnect with their purpose, integrate the wisdom they’ve gathered, and bring their truth to life—in their work, their relationships, and their leadership.
Through Yoga, Meditation, Positive Psychology, the Chakra System, and practical, embodied tools for modern living, my mission is simple:
To help you live, lead, and create from a place of wholeness.
To remind you that your life, your work, and your presence… they matter more than you think.
And when you align with that? Everybody wins.
If you feel called to explore how we might work together, I’d love to connect.

Testimonials

Christy has been my yoga teacher and mentor for over 8 years now. I met her when I signed up for my 300 hr. Yoga Training with her. Not only did Christy broaden my understanding of what yoga is, she became my yoga mentor during and after the year-long training. In addition to her training, I attended her retreats and classes and have worked with her as my yoga coach as I have developed my own teaching style.
As a yogini and teacher now for almost 15 years I continue to seek out Christy to deepen my understanding of myself and of yoga. Christy’s experience working and guiding others is extraordinary. She meets people where they are at, is incredibly accepting, and also challenges us to be our most glorious selves!!
I especially value her teachings from Positive Psychology to help me focus on, clarify and achieve my life goals. I’m also very moved by her deep understanding of the Yoga Sutras and the way she helps to connect them with the practical aspects of real life. As someone who studies ancient texts in my primary line of work, I find Christy’s interpretive skills of the Sutras to be phenomenal.
Her teaching of asana is always quite amazing and helpful, especially because she combines her sequencing with personal stories and supportive comments with her students. She also has a tremendous sense of humor that I truly appreciate.
Finally, I am also very appreciative of Christy’s use of the Chakras – interpreting them for us, helping us to explore them and apply their teachings to my life, and giving me yet another tool to enhance my understanding of the gifts of yoga.
I have just touched on a few of the tools that Christy uses with her students; she tailors her coaching to each student and draws from her vast toolbox and uses: asana, the Sutras, pranayama, Chakras, chanting, Positive Psychology and Ayurvedic principles to guide her students.
I am so grateful for Christy for teaching me and encouraging me to be my best self.
