"Yoga is the secret to growing older gracefully both within your body and within your soul”.
This has been Cyndi's mantra throughout her years of practicing yoga. As a nurse she always
knew the importance of maintaining good health. Even though she enjoyed several sports such as biking, swimming, hiking and even competitive figure skating, she was always drawn back to her mat because it treated both body and mind equally. After a severe accident left her with the
inability to walk for three months, it was yoga that healed her leg and anxiety. Linking breath and movement allowed her to strengthen the muscles, calm doubts, and move forward to a place of calmness and peace. Always a competitor, she also learned to listen to her body and work towards her own goals in a healthy way.
Her decision to become a yoga instructor was influenced by wanting to share this peace and tranquility she finally found with other individuals . She knew that yoga could be an answer for so many people dealing with medical issues such as stress, high blood pressure, arthritis, and
previous injuries. For those people wanting to maintain their strength, balance, and agility, yoga is the perfect answer for maintaining wellness.
Through Nirvana Yoga Studio in Richfield, Ohio, she completed a 200 hour Yoga Alliance trainingunder the kind and thoughtful leadership of Melissa Cugini and Maria Varonis. It is with greatappreciation and an open heart that she grew her practice with their support, guidance, and gentle teaching techniques. Additional accolades to Dunya Khaleq for her encouragement and sharing of her own unique teaching methods.
On the mat, Cyndi's favorite asana is Locus. To her it represents  a way to float above the mat in a beautiful and powerful way.
Off the mat, she shares life with four wonderful children, an encouraging husband Ken and a pet Dove. Listening to music, enjoying fires in the backyard, hikes and bikes in the Metroparks put a smile on her face.
