 Studio Owner, E-RYT500, YACEP  Vinyasa Flow(heated), Reiki II, Level  I Sound Practitioner , Certified Reflexologist,  RAD Yoga Mobility & Recovery Specialist
Before coming to the mat Cyndi was involved with weight training, Personal Training and  successfully competed in Fitness Competitions. She was interested in yoga, but had not begun a serious practice. 

After moving from NC to Virginia, she found a local yoga studio where she felt like she belonged, and she began to practice regularly. She took the plunge and enrolled in Yoga Teacher Training, graduating from the Hot Asana Yoga University and receiving her 200RYT. She received her 500RYT with K10Yoga.

“I love the way yoga brings me calmness and peace while still being strong. It’s all about the balance. As a teacher, I hope I can help others find their balance, both on and off the mat.” Contact: yogawithcyndi@gmail.com

While studying dance in 2007, Danielle explored and fell in love with yoga. It was the first time that  she had felt relaxed and at peace in her stillness. She has a degree in Exercise Science and Masters in Public Health. Her full time career is in the health and wellness field where her passions lie and one of the many reasons she chose to complete the K10 yoga teacher training in 2020.

Drawing from somatic, trauma-informed, and evidence-informed approaches, Rachel offers classes designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and self-agency.

RYT200 Vinyasa

I took my first yoga class in 2014 after I had my second son as way to get back in shape. Little did I know how much it would mean to me, how much it would benefit me in so many ways besides just “getting in shape.” Fast forward to 2022, I chose to step out into the unknown and go through YTT with Threehouse Studios in Durham, NC. It was the best decision I ever made. Now I find my joy in helping people love and feel at home in their bodies. 

My goal is to create a safe space to help others journey inward with breath and mindful movement

It is a space which offers several modalities for healing and wellness.  Karen is grateful for the instructors and therapist who have honored the Center with their commitment and contributions.

In 2019, Meadows of Dan, Virginia became Karen's home and the Center was left in the care and leadership of Cyndi,  "In addition to MOD's beauty, her residents are her gems. I am grateful for the friendships I am forging. Hoping that Bhagini will be of service to you."

She’s always excited when a “newbie” comes to class!
