About the Instructor:
Cindy discovered yoga nearly 20 years ago through a therapist after experiencing childhood trauma and found it to be a profound source of healing. It has remained a steady refuge ever since. She began assisting in the facilitation of mindfulness programs in 2023. She earned her children’s yoga teacher certification through Om Ananda Yoga in 2024 and found meaning in using her role as an RBT to teach neurodivergent children adaptive movement and mindfulness-based coping strategies. She completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training through the same school in May 2025, along with a Trauma-Informed Yoga Certification through MyVinyasa the same month.

At one time, Cindy saw her lived experiences as limitations. Being neurodivergent, plus-size, and living with chronic pain once felt incompatible with becoming a yoga teacher. Now, she recognizes that these very factors are the source of her strength. They’ve shaped her deep passion for creating inclusive spaces and supporting all body types and ability levels. They’ve also led her to prioritize both physical and emotional safety in her classes. Ultimately, these experiences have fueled her love for yoga, as she has personally felt the profound impact of being in spaces where individuals like her are able to show up fully, just as they are.
