Cindy Devine

Cindy has been a herbalist and natural health practitioner for 25 years. She has always believed that the body, mind, and emotions are closely linked. Since 2010, this led her to teach gentle yoga, and then multiple forms of Qi gong including Korean, medical, and women's Qi gong.
Constantly learning and expanding her practice, Cindy has taught students of all age ranges and conditions. Including children, mentally and physically challenged youth, adults, and the elderly. "All ages and abilities are open to healing and stress reduction through this practice, with the youngest student being 4 and the eldest, 96".
The practice of Qi gong keeps Cindy centered and balanced through stressful life events and she looks forward to teaching and passing along the benefits to you.

Always seeking and continuing to honor her teachers by practicing, learning and sharing an approachable practice. Yoga is her past and future. "It's with me all day, everyday.

Lindsey Konecsni
​
For Lindsey, Yoga became a pathway of discovery that involved far more than just the physical practice. This led her on a journey to the Himalayas to study Ashtanga Yoga which provided such profound emotional and spiritual healing.
“I know from my own experience and fellow students, that regular daily practice leads to real lasting peace. It is a path through your own consciousness. A practice that began with the sages of India and culminates in the millions of people who practice yoga today."
