A Licensed Social Worker, Cindy has many years of experience helping children and adults with challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD and developmental and learning disabilities. Her background and training in therapy informs her teaching style. Cindy teaches 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. Cindy has also provided coaching, feedback and encouragement 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.
