Cinde has been guiding meditation practice for students for 5 years and began as a student at ABT Yoga in the late 90s. At the age of 6, Cinde suffered a stroke which has led to her keen interest in meditation and yoga and their relationship to trauma. She believes strongly that recognizing gratitude leads to an integration of mind, body and spirit. In her classes there is a focus on developing/awakening authentic self and being present to all aspects of self discovery. There is an integration of the Yoga Yama and Niyamas in her classes and a fostering of daily meditation practice for students. She is also a photographer/artist who teaches healing through creative process.

Jennifer Lauro is a Topsfield resident, and a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance.  Jennifer’s yoga practice seriously began 10 years ago, although she does remember practicing yoga poses at the age of 4 from a book that her mother bought in the grocery store!
As a full-time mother, lawyer and multi-tasker, Jennifer was initially drawn to yoga as a means both to reduce stress and to get into shape.  Her practice has evolved over time: Iyengar, to Bikram, to Power, but for the moment, Jennifer focuses on Hatha-style yoga.  She has come to appreciate the spiritual benefits of yoga, and believes strongly that yoga and meditation are essential to her own health.
Jennifer lives with a chronic illness, and is motivated to teach yoga so she can share the gifts of wellness and peace that yoga gives to her and offers to us all.

Wyndee has been practicing yoga and meditation for many years, but seriously returned to the mat after a physical injury in 2007. This motivated her to do the 200 hr teacher training program with Kim Valeri at Yoga Spirit. She particularly enjoys working with people who are new to yoga and adapting the postures to the needs of each person. Wyndee works with people who are facing major health issues teaching how the asanas can help you find the stillness among the challenges and chaos in their lives.

Lesley lives in Boxford and is a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance.  She first turned to yoga after the birth of her first daughter – 13 years ago – in search of some relaxation and to provide a balance to some of the other fitness activities in her life.  Even in those early days she remembers having thoughts of teaching yoga. Yoga for Lesley is “like coming home to yourself”.  Through the practice of asanas, with the focus of the breath and through meditation she has discovered a deeper awareness that she finds helps her deal with the challenges of life.  It is this gift of yoga that she would like to be able to share with others.
