Cynthia Chiariello, MS, MSW, LSW, C-IAYT, RYT-500, RCYT 

In 2022, Cindy earned a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy from Maryland University of Integrative Health and is certified as a Yoga Therapist by IAYT. Cindy started her teaching journey with a 200 hour YTT in Vinyasa Yoga with Kelly Santucci at Younique Yoga in Cedar Grove, NJ.  After being awarded the Saul Swanger Fellowship (Morris Educational Foundation), Cindy completed the 95 hour Children’s Certificate with Childlight Yoga in Dover, New Hampshire.  Cindy has also completed additional training in: Restorative Yoga,  Yoga Nidra, Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Adaptive Yoga, MBSR, Dharma Yoga Wheel and has a 95 hour certificate from Holy Yoga Global. 

A Licensed Social Worker, Cindy has many years of experience helping individuals with challenges such as anxiety, depression, neurodivergence  and developmental disabilities.  Her background and training in clinical therapy inform her teaching style.  Cindy adapts her teaching to who is present in the room and invites her students to discover strength and space in their body and cultivate inner awareness of their individual practice. She enjoys the challenge of teaching a variety of classes to all levels from beginner to intermediate/advanced, and the creative process of developing new sequences and fun flows.

At BeWell IHS and for Holy Yoga Global, Cindy has provided coaching and feedback to many new instructors in training. Cindy believes that in a busy, hurt and hurried world, yoga’s integration of body mind and spirit has the potential to transform individuals and their communities.
