Originally from Rochester, NY, Lindsay made the move to Charlotte, NC in 2011, and her yoga journey began shortly after in 2012. With a background in gymnastics, dance, and cheerleading, she was initially drawn to yoga for its physical demands but quickly discovered its deeper, transformative qualities.
In 2014, she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and has since been sharing her passion by teaching at studios across Charlotte.
An explorer at heart, Lindsay found a beautiful synergy between teaching yoga and traveling the world. This love for new experiences has led her to guide classes and workshops at luxury resorts throughout the Caribbean and Mexico, as well as host yoga retreats in stunning destinations like Portugal, Costa Rica, and Aruba.
Beyond her roles as a yoga instructor and travel enthusiast, Lindsay is deeply passionate about building meaningful connections and curating extraordinary experiences for others. This passion led to the creation of The Algarve Experience retreat, where she seamlessly blends her love for yoga, travel, and creating unforgettable moments.
In her classes, Lindsay welcomes students of all levels. She artfully designs dynamic, creative flows infused with inspiring messages, playful energy, and a curated soundtrack, making each session a blend of movement, mindfulness, and fun.
Chris Angelino
Meet Chris Angelino, an avid adventurer and outdoorsman ready to guide you on a journey through the stunning Algarve region of Portugal. With a unique blend of hiking, kayaking, sightseeing, and cultural discoveries, this trip is bound to leave you mesmerized.
Originally from the Northeast, Chris has lived in Charlotte for almost 30 years and loves taking advantage of being just two hours from the mountains, three hours from the beach, and ten minutes from an airport that can take him to the rest of the world.
A former helicopter pilot and military veteran, the COVID lockdown re-ignited his passion for hiking, backpacking, rappelling, mountain biking, and his latest obsession, rock climbing. Now, he’s preparing for one of his most ambitious challenges yet: an attempt to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro in January 2025.
Chris has ventured across some of the most spectacular and challenging terrain in the world. From the rugged Na’apali coastline of Hawaii and the lush El Yunque rainforest in Puerto Rico, to the arid landscapes of the Negev and Death Valley deserts, and the majestic peaks of the Grand Tetons, Zion, and Bryce Canyon National Parks, Chris has conquered it all.
One of Chris’ most inspirational feats includes a one-day, 30-mile hike on the Appalachian Trail, where he was instrumental in helping raise over $300,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This endeavor reflects his commitment to making a difference, both on and off the trail.
Join Chris & Lindsay on this Portuguese escapade as they share insights, stories, and experiences that promise a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Embrace the thrill, explore hidden gems, and create memories that will last forever, all under the guidance of two experts who truly have a passion for adventure.
