Cynthia went on to study with Roots and River Yoga in Brunswick, MD in 2024 under Machelle Lee and Tara Lemerise in a 7-month personal immersion program. Cynthia continues to deepen her personal practice of yoga through self-awareness and skill development.

Her intention with teaching is to guide students into arriving fully on their own mats and reaping their own unique fruits of yoga.
