Cyndi Lee is the first female Western yoga teacher to fully integrate yoga asana and Tibetan Buddhism in her practice and teaching.  In 1998, she founded the OM yoga Center in NYC, which became a mecca for yogis worldwide.  One of the most influential teachers in the U.S., Cyndi is known for her dynamic and contemplative classes, creative, safe and sane sequencing, smart and soulful teachings -- all offered in a non-competitve environment of goodness.  Be prepared to move, to apply clarity to your alignment, to watch your mind, to sweat, to stay steady, to get bored and let go, to engage and be inspired.  

When she's not on the mat and cushion, Cyndi writes.  Her newest book is the The New York Times critically acclaimed May I Be Happy: A Me

Quotes by Cyndi Lee  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Rather than allowing our response to an even affect our breathing, we can learn instead to let our breathing change our relationship to the event.”
Cyndi Lee

“See if you can approach your own practice with a healthy combination of mindfulness, playfulness, precision, and curiosity”
Cyndi Lee

“Vinyasa has three parts: arising, abiding, and dissolving. And the dissolving of one thing is the arising of the next. Every day turns into night turns into day. Winter becomes spring becomes summer becomes autumn becomes winter. Waves roll in and slip back out, tides ebb and flow. Every breath is like this. Every life is like this.

Each flower buds, ripens, and blooms, wilts and fades away. The leaves fall to the earth and create the ground for a new plant to grow.

The Sanskrit word vinyasa means "to place in a special way". It means that everything is connected and the sequence of things matters. It means that every action, thought, or word that arises now is planting the seed for future fruit. "In a special way" means the unfolding of life is logical. If you plant a tomato seed, you will get a tomato. If you plant an apple seed and you wait long enough, you will get an apple tree. And if you plant a hard thought, you will get a hard heart.”
Cyndi Lee, May I Be Happy: A Memoir of Love, Yoga, and Changing My Mind
