Sylvia Chai
After a serious knee injury, Sylvia turned
to yoga to
strengthen and maintain stamina. A few years later,
she decided to deepen her practice and complete a
200-hour yoga teacher certification at Atmanada/
CenterPoint Yoga Studios (RYS in Manhattan), and then
went on to complete 500-hour certification with
Adrienne Burke (RYS, formerly Director of teacher
training program at the Jivamukti Yoga School).
Sylvia has also undergone pre-natal yoga teacher
training, and is also an enthusiastic student of
ballet and Horton modern dance.
Sylvia enjoys teaching a vinyasa-flow style which
incorporates elements of both Ashtanga and Iyengar
yoga styles, as well as some principles of classical
and modern dance.
"For me, yoga has become so much more than just
exercise. At every turn, there is something more to
learn about this fascinating mind-body practice, and I
love to encourage others to develop a regular,
life-long practice".
