Founder

Linda

Linda Townsend, Founder and President of Release Well-Being Center, had a dream – to bring together the many facets of holistic wellness in one location to meet a growing and unfulfilled need in metro west.

Linda draws on her extensive background in the corporate environment, as well as her wellness knowledge and experience, to create an ideal “sanctuary” and community where individuals of any age and fitness level can find balance, purpose and well-being. She graduated as Valedictorian when she received her MBA from Northeastern University, has a BA in Journalism from Northeastern University and later received a Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching from William James College.

After starting her career as an investigative newspaper and television journalist, then a marketing and sales executive for several high-tech companies, Linda was recognized for her work in the Young Presidents Organization (YPO), an international organization of more than 9,000 CEOs, for outstanding work coaching CEO peer groups. Trying to balance her career while raising three young children, she became attuned to the importance of consistent self-care (you must put on your own oxygen mask first before you can help others!), which led her to become a certified yoga instructor in 2007 and then an executive and life coach. Linda connected with a team of wellness experts to realize and expand her dream for Release Well-Being Center.

Linda lives in Boston, Massachusetts with her husband Mike, and remains active in all things wellness. Follow her on Instagram lindaspursuitofwellbeing for her exploration of all things wellness!

YOGA LEAD

Dani

I found my way to yoga in my post-college years in NYC, where my mat was just about the only space I could claim as my own. I’ve practiced a wide range of styles over the years from Bikram (before his unraveling) & heated power flow to restorative & yin. Throughout the many phases of my adult life, yoga has been a constant for nearly 15 years and I know my mat will forever be my home base.
I completed my 200-hr training with the amazing Grace Morales in Charlotte, NC in 2013. My day job is in Marketing, but I taught for a few years at various studios and gyms before taking a 7 year hiatus after the birth of my first child. Now I am back in action as a teacher and could not be more thrilled. I specialize in vinyasa flow classes paired with fun and upbeat music. My goal is to make yoga fun for my students while holding a safe place for them to feel anything that gets stirred up along the way.
