Cyndi is the author and artist of Yoga Body, Buddha Mind; OM yoga Today; OM yoga, A Guide to Daily Practice; OM at Home, A Yoga Journal; and the OM yoga in a Box series. She has created two DVDs: OM yoga Beginner/Intermediate class DVD and OM Yoga and Meditation Workshop DVD co-taught by David Nichtern, which was commissioned by the One Spirit Book club as a main selection celebrating the club's 10th year anniversary. Cyndi is a contributing author to Will Meditation and Yoga Change My Life?; Joyful Mind; Joyful Wedding; and The Idiot’s Guide to Fitness. She has written for Natural Health, Dance Magazine, BalletTanz, Cooking Light, Spa Finder, Tricyle, and authored yoga columns in Yoga Journal (2004-05) and the Shambhala Sun (2000-2003). Cyndi has been frequently featured on TV and in print including CBS’ The Early Show, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, ABC’s Evening News, CNN, Vogue, InStyle, Life & Style, WWD, The Wall Street Journal and Newsweek. Cyndi's first yoga class was in college in 1972. After completing her graduate thesis on Women, Spirituality and Indian Dance at UC, Irvine, Cyndi arrived in New York as a recipient of an Art History Fellowship to the Whitney Museum of American Art. This was a wonderful opportunity to learn but not enough cash so Cyndi began teaching yoga in Greenwich Village. Soon she became a fixture in NYC’s downtown modern dance scene, choreographing and performing her own work as XXY Dance/Music and Cyndi Lee Dance Company/Big Moves, Inc. Cyndi also choreographed over 20 music videos for Rick James, Simple Minds, Appolonia, the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, and many more including Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” which won the 1983 MTV Best Female Video of the Year award. After meeting her root guru, Gelek Rinpoche, in the late 1980s, Cyndi’s practice of yoga and Buddhism merged with her choreography. In 1994, "Dharma Dances" was her last concert, which featured Allen Ginsberg singing his own songs and accompanying himself on harmonium. Cyndi is inspired by her dad whose philosophy was "Keep Smiling" and her mom who says, "Don't get uptight!" Cyndi lives in New York City with her husband, David Nichtern and poodle, Leroy Brown. |
