Gentle Yoga and FND with Cindy

This online yoga class focuses on gentle, symptom-informed movement, relaxation, and mindfulness tailored to help support people living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). Classes are designed to be low-pressure and adaptable so you can move in ways that feel safe and comfortable for your body.

Cindy is a certified Yoga and Pilates instructor with more than 30 years of experience helping people improve their strength, mobility, balance, and overall well-being. Her teaching style is gentle, supportive, and accessible, with a focus on meeting each person where they are. I believe yoga should be adaptable to every body and every ability, especially for those living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).

“As someone who also lives with FND, I understand many of the unique challenges it can bring. This personal experience allows me to create a compassionate, encouraging environment where participants can move safely, build confidence, and reconnect with their bodies at their own pace. My goal is to help each student experience the physical and emotional benefits of yoga while feeling supported, respected, and empowered throughout their journey.” - Cindy
