Cindy Buchanan
Shine On Yoga Studio Owner
Informed, Sound Healing, and Shamanic Practitioner owns Shine On Yoga. She began navigating the layers of self at the early age of 12. After studying dance and graduating from Boston Conservatory, she spent a brief time as a professional dancer, before being drawn to soul and energy work that led her onto the path of Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and Restorative yoga.
She desires to express gratitude by paying forward the knowledge and healing of these practices – to create a safe, nurturing, and loving space for the practitioner to realize their own innate gifts, to foster connection and strength of mind, body, and spirit, and to nurture a sense of peace and power within that
can be carried out of Shine On and far into the world.
