““Cindy’s classes are so healing. She is a wonderfully caring, compassionate and kind person - and teacher!” ”
“Practicing yoga with Cindy’s guidance is an unmatched experience. She intuitively understands what I need from her each class—challenging me to push myself physically or helping me to just accept where I am or encouraging me to allow myself to be present and relaxed on any given day. She is a nurturing teacher who clearly cares about her students’ well-being.
At the end of class, Cindy almost always sings or plays the viola - a sublime experience… Lying still on my mat, I often achieve such a feeling of joy that I float to my car afterwards and have to pull myself back to reality so that I am not a hazard on the road.
My favorite days are when I have yoga with Cindy. I genuinely look forward to each and every class! ”
