Cindy is very knowledgeable and extremely conscientious in making sure the poses are tailored according your specific needs and health issues.
I have had the pleasure of taking Qigong classes with Cindy for over a year. She is an excellent instructor. She explains the benefits of the particular moves being practiced, as well as explaining how to do all of the moves. To me, the time with Cindy in Qigong is calming, uplifting, and spiritual.

Best yoga teacher we have ever had. My husband and I look forward to our session every week and can highly recommend Cindy. We are in our seventies and we find great improvement in our balance and flexibility since we are practicing gentle yoga
I met Cindy taking classes at a studio where she taught Qigong.
We then had her come to the house to give us private classes.
Her method of teaching is excellent. She helped us both with our flexibility and
balance.
The health benefits were wonderful. Lower blood pressure and increase in my bone density where no medication was needed.
Cindy helped me with flexibility and Qigong. Few have had the impact on my life that she has.
Cindy is very knowledgeable and a calming and encouraging presence in both yoga and qigong. Wonderful teacher.
