Yoga @ Cindy's - Lawrence Studio

Christa began her yoga journey at a young age when she realized
her love for dynamic movement and personal growth unite on her yoga
mat. Having come from a background in sports, she was drawn to the
physical and mental challenging aspects of Heated Vinyasa and
Ashtanga Vinyasa. She has obtained 200 hour certifications in both
of these disciplines and balanced her understanding of the yoga
practice with additional training in Yin Yoga. Christa has had the
opportunity to study and teach at yoga teacher trainings abroad,
namely Southeast Asia, as she enjoys traveling to immerse herself
in nature and culture. Aside from her time spent on the mat,
Christa builds wellness programs tailoring to her personal training
client's needs and coaches various classes in the fitness realm.
She has a special interest in practicing handstands/inversions
while also continuing to further her knowledge bank of all things
health and sports.  Her values include authenticity,
integrity, empathy, and openness to others. Through her teaching
and interactions she aims to guide others towards moving better,
feeling better, and realizing greater potentials through
movement.

Dani began her yoga journey in 2011 when her older sister
insisted she come take one of her Bikram classes. She instantly
fell in love with the challenge of balancing the unification of
movement and breath with the art of stilling the mind. She began
teaching in 2013. She is a RYT 200 Yoga Alliance Certified
Instructor and is currently working towards her 500 hour
certification. She teaches Bikram, Vinyasa and Hot Pilates. She
emphasizes on moving from the heart from a compassionate place
within while listening to one's body. Dani helps her students find
joy and laughter even through the most vigorous practice. She
offers modifications and hands on adjustments. Dani believes that
"the purpose of yoga is clarification of our individual field of
consciousness and to connect to our inner light of awareness, our
inner Self. Spiritual development involves conscious change and
refinement-replacing one's unconscious, negative habitual patterns
with conscious, positive, helpful practices that dissolve
attachments and lead to a healthier, happy being.

I was born in Indonesia and moved to California in 2006. I
spent several years working at a start-up tech company in Silicon
Valley, and eventually opted out to be a full time mother to my
beautiful twin daughters. Growing my own family in a foreign
country could be a lonesome journey. I am so grateful to have found
the dearest community through yoga since 2008. My life was never
the same again after taking 200Hr Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga @
Cindy's in 2015. Yoga has given me not only strength and courage,
but also spiritual growth I hadn't thought possible. I value
mindfulness while practicing on the mat and believe in continuous
practice off the mat as well to sustain equanimity. I believe yoga
should be accessible to students of all level, hence, the
importance of offering variation of a pose and the energetic
alignment in variation of your choosing. With creative sequencing
accompanied by energetic and soothing music playlist, you'll be
sure to sweat and gradually building stronger foundation in your
practice.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Helena moved to Mountain View in 1990.
Upon arriving she discovered a passion for fitness she didn't know
she had. Taking full advantage of her new surroundings she became
an avid runner and biker. In 2006 Helena turned her love for
exercise and movement into a career and became certified as a
personal trainer. As a trainer she incorporated some aspects of
yoga into her clients' programs, however it wasn't until she began
to practice yoga regularly that she uncovered another hidden
passion, vinyasa flow yoga. Once again Helena's desire to teach
what she loved prompted her decision to become certified as a yoga
teacher. In 2016 she completed her 200hr yoga teacher training with
Linda McGrath at Yoga Source Los Gatos. In Helena's class you'll
find fun creative sequencing, lively music and ongoing
encouragement and guidance to fully accept whatever your body can
do on any given day. When Helena is not teaching yoga you'll find
her in her kitchen cooking her favorite Italian dishes, her
specialty being margarita pizza. You may also see her around town
on her yellow cruiser bike, no doubt heading to or from her yoga
class. Don't forget to wave!
