About Cyd

The person behind the practice.

Cyd in a forest, looking up into the trees

I did not arrive at this work through a single path. It grew from a lifetime of paying attention — to the body, to the quiet places in myself, to the way we soften when we are simply met.

My foundation is a 200-hour yoga teacher training in Goa, and years of teaching hatha and restorative yoga. Alongside that, I have sat with people in intimate breathwork gatherings, and offered supportive presence and touch in moments that asked for little more than someone steady to be near.

With Cyd is the shape all of this has taken — a practice of ceremonial bodywork and intentional presence, rooted in what I have lived and continue to learn. It is not one modality, or a certificate on a wall. It is the way I have come to be with people.

I am still learning. I imagine I always will be. And I believe the most honest thing I can offer is presence — attentive, unhurried, and without expectation.
