MEET YOUR TRAINERS

Darcy Providente

I am the owner of Chagrin Yoga – a wife, mom, dog mom, & orchid enthusiast who is passionate about yoga. Yoga saved me and opened up a practice that is a journey where I get to learn every day. I love teaching fun power flows with warm & gooey temps; using blocks (blocks are for masters!); and empowering each soul through kindness with a mix of challenges, modifications, and assists. I teach to all levels, from high school students to seniors, and my approach is simply to be me – leave the drama at the door. If you want, you can pick it up on the way out.
In my personal practice, I like everything from Therapeutics to Buti to Power, and through daily practice, I keep learning how to preserve my physical body and maintain a clear, open mind.

Cynthia Chylik

My love of yoga started about 16 years ago after the birth of my third child. Yoga was a weekly treat to destress and relax. When my youngest started kindergarten my regular practice started. As I immersed myself in the practice, I became stronger, increased my mobility and grew emotionally and physically. I became a certified teacher in 2013 via Chagrin Yoga’s training and immediately began to teach. I downsized my graphic design business as I started teaching more yoga.

I am registered with Yoga Alliance and have an E-RYT 500 and YACEP. I also am a Reiki Master, MELT Instructor, Prana Flow Certified and Barre Certified. I enjoy teaching many styles of yoga including restorative, slow flow, power, vinyasa and yin. For me the practice includes the connection to the higher self and source.
