Sydney is a breathwork guide, 500-hour yoga instructor, and perpetual student who purposefully explores the interplay between mind, body, and spirit.
She continually studies the scientific undercurrent of spirituality, how our minds and behaviors are shaped by both awareness and experience, and the ways in which holistic practices can support and enhance emotional, energetic, physical, and psychological well-being.
Sydney feels privileged to be able to hold space for others to become embodied, connect back to their true nature, nurture their nervous systems, and cultivate individual and collective healing. As a breathwork facilitator and yoga teacher, she creates a container to tune back into authenticity, childlike innocence, curiosity, intuitive wisdom, and Self.
She received her Bachelor’s Degree from Franklin & Marshall College, PA and earned her Master of Arts degree in Psychology and Education with a concentration in Spirituality and Mind-Body Practice at Columbia University, NYC.

Breathwork is a powerful practice that utilizes specific breathing techniques to influence your mental, emotional, and physical state. By consciously controlling your breath, you can shift your energy, release stress and tension, access deeper states of consciousness, and promote healing.
When we are stressed, we tend to breathe shallowly, activating the sympathetic nervous system. Breathing in this way, the air sits at the top third of our lungs, rather than being received by the lower areas that supply oxygen and nutrients to the body. If the brain fails to receive enough oxygen, we begin to experience feelings of anxiety and stress.
However, when we alter our breath patterns and consciously breathe more deeply, we trigger the vagus nerve, slowing down our heart rate and breathing rhythm. The vagus nerve, the longest cranial nerve in the body, is the key driver of the parasympathetic nervous system, and ultimately, our feelings of calm and relaxation.
