She first discovered Yoga in 2002 and was instantly hooked. The physical emotional and  spiritual upgrades she has experienced with yoga are limitless. Cyndy credits the physical benefits of yoga for cutting her recovery time in half from knee surgery in 2004 and credits the mental and spiritual benefits of yoga for guiding her through treatment  for Stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2007. After achieving full remission, Cyndy rededicated herself to the practice of yoga  and, in May 2017, she received her 200-hour teaching certificate from Blooming Lotus Yoga, a Yoga Alliance registered school, in Bali under the guidance of Lily Goncalves and Ramananda Mayi.

In 2020, Cyndy completed her Curvy Yogi training under the guidance of Anna Guest-Jelley and is currently completing her 300-hour yoga training with Brett Larkin.

Cyndy received a Bachelor of Arts in American Literature from Hofstra University and her MBA in Management and Leadership from Dowling College.

In addition to yoga and traveling, Cyndy enjoys painting and ballroom dancing.

She lives in Long Island, New York with her husband, Chris.
