Cyndi Lezcano
Yoga found me over a decade ago but I still remember it like it was yesterday! Those first few classes challenged me physically and woke me up emotionally.
I began to further my practice and my learnings by completing my 500 hour Yoga Teacher Certification through Yoga Works. The more I learned, the more I wanted to just keep learning! I was hooked.
I’ve continued to feed my passion for learning and furthered my education and have been certified in Oncology Yoga along with Accessible Yoga for all Bodies in order to be of service to more people.
I believe that our yoga practice is a mirror to our everyday lives and can help us change our perspective if we learn to surrender and trust the process. In my classes I emphasize the importance of self-awareness, alignment, and personal growth. My teachings are lighthearted, playful, and educational with creative sequences that are ever evolving and changing, just as we are.
I look forward to growing with you.

Since then, David has been leading classes around the Bay Area.

Felicia Viera
Hi! I’m Felicia, a yoga and Pilates instructor based out of the Bay Area. I began my training in 2016 for yoga at YogaWorks Walnut Creek eventually completing my 500 hours. When I first started training I didn’t think I would ever teach! I was terrified of public speaking, but just like the yoga practice, I kept trying even if it was nowhere near perfect. That truly is the beauty of yoga though; all you have to do is show up.
Shortly after I started training in Pilates, I completed another 500 hours including mat and reformer. Pilates has given me a whole new world of movements to explore, and I have loved being able to share it in yoga classes.
As things are forever changing, I continue to study and be a student as well. I feel that it is important that I can always offer to the best of abilities. My love for movement has led to exploring many other formats, as well as going back to school to one day become a physical therapist.
