Cindy Bartz

Cindy Bartz is a traveling yogi and musician who offers classes, retreats and events in movement and music, with the aim of healing mind, body and spirit. She describes herself as a certified yoga instructor and accomplished musician. Her signature programs are Yoga for Musicians and Yoga for Reversing Osteoporosis Naturally.

Music came first. She started playing the clarinet in 1968 and earned a music degree at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1983. In 2020 she began learning Native American flute. In her early twenties she became interested in health and wellness, and in 1983 she managed a health club and became a personal trainer and fitness instructor.

Her yoga journey began in 2004, when she turned to it to heal her body after a biking accident. Since 2012 she has helped clients with limited mobility regain their health. After being diagnosed with osteopenia in 2010, she learned how to build strong bones naturally. In 2017 she created a program for reversing osteoporosis, which she says has helped hundreds of people.

She began offering restorative yoga events with live music in 2021. Gentle postures and passive stretches are held while mellow, inspiring music plays. She says her own breath practices increased her lung capacity and breath control, and that yoga has helped her posture, finger dexterity and focus under pressure as a performer.

Her teaching spans restorative, gentle and chair yoga, Hatha and flow, and Qigong and Tai Chi, with a focus on strength, balance and flexibility. She also teaches meditation and Ayurveda, and shares ways to support the immune system. Her stated intention is to support people on their journey to better health and well-being.
