Cyndy’s love for movement began with childhood dance classes, which continued into adulthood and eventually expanded to include both yoga and group exercise instruction. She absolutely loves working with older adults (as she says, I am one!!) and helping them to stay vibrant and active! Her students continue to inspire her every day.

In 2010 she earned her yoga teacher certification from Yoga Yoga in Austin, Texas. Since that time, she has received additional training from Duke Integrative Medicine, “Teaching Therapeutic Yoga to Seniors”; and is a certified trauma-informed yoga instructor as well. In 2013, she added group exercise instructor to her credentials and has been teaching at the Black Mountain YMCA and Givens Highland Farms for ten years.

A native Texan, she moved to Black Mountain in 2012, and feels blessed to call these mountains her home. A lover of all kinds of animals, she currently shares her home with two cats, Luna and Ziggy. When she’s not teaching, you will most likely find her on the dance floor or at a blues concert.
