Cyndi Roberts Yoga LLC, West Hartford

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
I teach holistic wellness through a unique combination of restorative yoga, gentle yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, mindfulness, present moment awareness, spirituality, positive affirmations, mantras and visualizations. We discover the roadmap to your soul purpose, one class at a time.

Exercise is challenging. How do you keep clients motivated and engaged?
Because sessions are one-on-one, students have 100% of my attention, knowledge, & expertise at their disposal. We’ll identify goals for each customized session, catered to students’ individual needs. This ensures that body & mind get exactly what they need each time.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
Every body is different & everyone carries their personal history with them when they practice. My passion was ignited by teaching people how to make yoga feel good in their bodies, no matter their physical limitations. Yoga is not just about the posture - I like to teach the deeper meaning of yoga.

What do you love most about your job?
I’ve devoted my life to sharing the knowledge & lived experience I gained on my journey back to health. Facing liver failure, diabetes, & death after a 12-year battle with severe depression, anxiety, a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder & numerous addictions, I used yoga & meditation to save my life.
