Cynthia Chasteen, PhD, ERYT-200, RCYT, YACEP, began her yoga journey about 12 years ago to improve flexibility and mobility for weightlifting. However, the more she practiced, the more curious she was about yoga's origins and philosophy as well as its positive impact on her affect. She decided to enroll in a 200 hour hatha yoga teacher training program to gain knowledge and never intended to teach. Fast forward to 2024 and she has co-facilitated several yoga teacher training programs, studied and practiced yoga on several different continents and in English, Spanish and Sanskrit. Cynthia enjoys sharing all aspects of yoga with children and adults.
