Cindy Mastry has practiced yoga since the age of eight, and also has a background in Jazz and Ballet. Active in the fitness industry for nearly twenty years, she teaches aerobics, kickboxing, and yoga at many fitness centers in the Tampa Bay area. Cindy trained with 84 year-old Master Yogi Monk, Baba Hari Dass at the Mt. Madonna Center in California and owns/operates "Yoga Etc Studio" in St. Petersburg, Florida. Cindy teaches yoga to people of all ages and experience levels and at very competitive rates.

CINDY MASTRY: Namaste. Anusara Yoga is just another style of yoga interpreted by John Friend of the Hatha Yoga System. So, all the poses are basically just the same as Hatha Yoga poses. The difference is how you do them or the mindset that you do the poses with. In Anusara Yoga, they believe that you are co-creators with the universe, and therefore, they find joy in everything. They find joy in every pose and each pose is perfect onto itself, whether your alignment's exactly right or not. So it's a happy, warm, fuzzy style of yoga. And it's a really beautiful style, everything comes from the heart. You're opening to grace. You're using muscular energy and organic energy. They talk about an inner spiral and an outer spiral. But generally, the poses are still standing poses, twisting poses, back bending, forward bending, same poses in Hatha Yoga. They're just done with a little bit different take and in a joyful, happy manner.
