Meet Our Teachers

Lindsey Dicello

Certified Bith Doula, RYT-200, and RYPT yoga teacher Lindsey is passionate about connecting students with their bodies. She opened Austin Yoga Lounge to create a space for pregnant students to embrace pregnancy, prepare for labor, and enter this stage of life supported and empowered.

Lindsey's passion for yoga began during her teenage years when she stumbled upon its healing effects. As she began to incorporate the practice into her daily routine, she found that it not only helped her manage anxiety but also aided in her journey to overcome disordered eating. As her love for yoga deepened, she devoted her early twenties to studying the practice in depth. She taught Intuitive Yoga at Woodstock Yoga Lounge (Illinois) before moving to Austin in 2020.

Lindsey holds RYT-200 credentials through Woodstock Yoga Lounge and her RYPT Prenatal and postnatal Arhanta Yoga Academy.  She completed her Doula birth training through DONA International and is passionate about empowering folks through their pregnancy journey. 

Throughout her yoga journey, Lindsey has learned from various Iyengar teachers and has focused on using asana as a therapy to further enhance the practice's healing benefits. Her teaching style is alignment-based, which helps connect her students to their bodies and calms their minds. With thoughtfully crafted sequences, Lindsey aims to help her students understand their bodies better and balance their minds and bodies for a more holistic approach to wellness. 

Maggie Anbalagan

Maggie holds RYT-500 credentials through Practice Yoga (Austin, Texas) and her Prenatal training through Yoga Yoga (also in Austin). She has been teaching since 2016. She also completed her 300-hr training while pregnant with her first child, which provided even more intimate insight into how yoga can be accessible and supportive during the physical, emotional and spiritual transition to motherhood. Her classes are approachable but not afraid of hard work. They create community through shared breath and practice, while also honoring the unique experience of each body present. Maggie weaves flow with alignment yoga in a way that takes students deeper into their practice mindfully and purposefully. In every class you can expect to be guided towards the truest teacher that lives within yourself.

Maggie has always found healing through physical movement. She has been a runner, cyclist, strength trainer and sweat-seeker for much of her life. But yoga was her first encounter with movement that was integrated with breath in a way that unlocked a deeper layer of self-awareness and discovery. Yoga challenged her in new ways both physically and mentally, but it also gave her permission to simply be as she was. This kind of true embodiment and acceptance is a gift she seeks to share with her students.
