About Linzi Rodina
I am a 51 year old English nomad/warrior, world wanderer, dreamer, hippy yoga lover, anatomy/physiology nerd, mind sparking adrenaline junky.
Currently obsessed with feet and how we move, learning from Gait Happens, and now Gary Ward, Anatomy in Motion.
This interest in anatomy and physiology traces back to school days when I ran x-country for my county.
The link between movement and nervous system regulation was sown here.
My passion is working with people in REALISATION, otherwise known as rehab. I believe addiction is a deeply misunderstood issue and pride myself in the work I do inside the recovery setting.
​
Nutrition/cooking is a a huge hobby. Creating balanced recipes to share on social media following.
Eating the rainbow being my slogan of choice.
Travelling the planet and tasting it's wares has always been my passion.
I recently learned flying trapeze in the Caribbean and scared myself silly, this keeps me forever trying, striving and staying proud and humble.
I am writer. My play on words pours into all my work even my teaching.
I'm currently working on my first publication sharing all I know about trauma, addiction, and how movement frees us.

Qualifying as a massage therapist in 1997, fitness instructor in 2000, yoga teacher in 2005, travelling the world to learn from the greatest teachers on this planet from Bali, Kauai, India, Scotland to realise it all starts from within, now a yoga teacher gone rogue teaching my own style. A magpie for knowledge. I hold huge gratitude for all the people who have inspired me.
I qualified as a BWRT® therapist in 2017, learning from the founder Terence Watts himself. ICF Life Coach in 2021 with the brilliant Lydia Kimmerling, now working in 6.9,12 week partnerships.
Overcoming my own demons and breaking through active addictive behaviours myself, development on the connections in my work is on going.
Working in the drug and alcohol rehabilitation sector since 2018 gives me huge satisfaction.
In 2020 during the pandemic I founded the internationally acclaimed RODINA RESET - an online exercise session programme with daily classes and recordings mixing years of expertise, building muscle with weights, somatic awareness, breath work and deep nervous system regulation, all wrapped up on Thursdays in sublime yoga flow.
My biggest accomplishments in life are my 3 children, and finding my soulmate in my mid 40s. The journey continues.
