About Us

Founder of Ataraxis Yoga & Wellness

Linda Pitman is the owner and founder of Ataraxis Yoga & Wellness in Williston, North Dakota. She is a certified yoga instructor with a specialty in restorative yoga and somatic practices, helping others reconnect to the wisdom of their bodies and find balance in both movement and stillness.

Originally from Houston, Texas, Linda earned her Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and spent nearly two decades in the oil industry. She worked internationally and across both major corporations and small independents, serving in leadership roles for over 15 years.

After years of climbing ladders and breaking glass ceilings, Linda realized that success without inner peace isn’t truly success at all. She made the courageous choice to step away from hustle culture and begin a journey of healing, presence, and purpose.

Today, she brings her deep professional experience and compassionate leadership into her work with individuals and organizations — blending mindfulness, somatics, and nervous system education to promote emotional resilience and workplace wellness.

Beyond her teaching, Linda is a wife, mom, daughter, and friend who believes that the most powerful work we can do is learning to rest, reset, and remember who we are — both on and off the mat.

Rest is revolutionary. Presence is power. Ataraxis is home. 

Ataraxis Yoga & Wellness is a sanctuary for slowing down, reconnecting, and coming home to yourself.

Founded by Linda Pitman, Ataraxis was born from a simple truth — that peace isn’t something we chase; it’s something we cultivate through presence, rest, and connection.

Here, we believe that rest is revolutionary and presence is power.

Our classes, workshops, and retreats are designed to help you step out of fight-or-flight and into grounded awareness — blending restorative yoga, somatic practices, mindfulness, and creative expression to support your body, mind, and spirit.

Ataraxis is for those who are ready to release the need to do more and instead rediscover what it feels like to simply be.

For the women rebuilding balance, the seekers craving community, and the souls ready to remember their wholeness.

There’s no hustle here.

No perfection required.

Just real people finding real peace — one breath, one movement, one mindful moment at a time.

Rest. Reset. Remember who you are.
