Cindy Crace

Cindy grew up in a sports-minded family and was a competitive collegiate tennis player and youth tennis coach. She took a break from competitive athletics to enjoy the "sport" of raising two wonderful sons. She eventually started playing USTA tennis but developed tennis elbow. It progressed to the point of not being able to hold a tennis ball and she started looking for alternatives to surgery or cortisone shots. Her physical therapist recommended a new hot yoga studio that had just opened and she was hooked. It helped cure her tennis elbow, gave her an increased appreciation for holistic wellness, and rejuvenated her old coaching spirit with a desire to teach again. She has a passion for yoga, its healing powers and its continual opportunities for learning. Cindy received her training from Becky Crigger, M.Ed., E-RYT at Body Balance (Williamsburg VA); Dr. Graham Schweig, author of "New Translation of The Bhagavad Gita;" and Susan Walkley, Ph.D. in Anatomy. She received her 200 hours of certification from Yoga Alliance in Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, and recently finished her 500 hours with Quinn Reynolds E-RYT. She loves outdoor sports and most weekends you can find her and her husband on Jordon Lake sculling. She's been married for 29 years and they have two grown sons and a zoo of pets.
