Lynn Ginsburg balances her career as a professional freelance writer with her equally passionate pursuit of health, fitness and peace of mind. Lynn has studied Hindu and Buddhist philosophy for the past 18 years, and finds the active expression of these philosophies in the practice of yoga and meditation. She is also an avid student of holistic nutrition and alternative health methodologies. Her interest in translating Sanskrit from original texts led her to complete a four_year non_degree program in Sanskrit from Naropa University.
Lynn incorporates both Hindu and Buddhist philosophical traditions into her writing on yoga, food, holistic nutrition and alternative health. Lynn's articles have appeared widely in national magazines and newspapers, including: Travel and Leisure, Walking, Los Angeles Times, New York Newsday, Inc. Magazine, Wired and Natural Foods Merchandiser.
She has also sold a script to ABC TV's "All My Children," and her plays have been produced and workshopped in New York City at a number of theaters.
Lynn lives in Boulder, CO with her husband and her sharpei, Chang Li.
