Cynthia Abulafia

Cynthia’s classes support the power of curiosity.  It is through investigation and attention to detail that the experience of the body, breath, and heart begin to tune our attention to its finest point.  The body is included in this attention, and becomes a map for our reverence.  The purpose of the practice is to simply notice ever deeper into the silence and the pulsation that is the root of all form.
In addition to teaching asana Cynthia teaches courses in yoga philosophy, the subtle or energetic body, human anatomy for yoga, the sacred texts of yoga and Tantra, and yoga ethics.

Cynthia has taught at Yoga Soup since 2007.  She has been instrumental in the creation and leadership of Yoga Soup’s 200 and 300 Hour Teacher Trainings, and currently co-leads the 300 hour TT. She is also a certified Yoga Therapist, is Pilates certified, and holds a Masters degree in Nutrition. She has over 25 years of study with world class teachers in several schools of yoga, including Yoga Therapy, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa Krama with Srivatsa Ramaswami, modern flow blends and movement science modalities, and many beloved meditation, Advaita, non-dual Tantra, kundalini-Shakti, and self-inquiry teachers, most notably Rupert Spira, the late Bonnie Greenwell, and the late Sally Kempton.

Cynthia believes strongly in educating students about Kundalini energy (not to be confused with the system of yoga in the same name) and radical self-acceptance.  To learn more about these topics see cynthiaabulafia.com
