mardi sykes
Mardi moved to New York City in 2002 to pursue what life had to offer. After participating in her first yoga class as part of a job description, she was charmed. She examined many different approaches to yoga, studying with remarkable teachers like Shiva Rea, Max Strom, and Glenn Black. Over the years, her practice became an increasingly essential part of her life until her daily life became her practice.
Learning from her longtime teachers Jude English and Isaac Pena, she was certified through the Sankalpah College of Yoga, where she currently assists with workshops and teacher trainings. Mardi continues to learn by teaching and to teach by learning, cultivating and sharing a spirit of gratitude with her students through dynamic vinyasa flow classes. She balances mindfulness with a playful spirit, encouraging her students to explore their personal expressions of yoga through breath, creative movement, and meditation.
