After 10 years of living in Boston and working in both the sales and restaurant industry, Sylvia (she/her) started to explore the yoga world to reconnect with self and body - needing a reminder to slow down and take time for herself. She quickly fell in love with finding intentional movement as well as the community that came with practicing. As someone who loves to learn, Sylvia finished her YSTT in spring 2025 with the Coastal Method while working as a studio assistant at both B/SPOKE Studios and Evolve Power Yoga in South Boston. 

In the fall of 2025, Maine was calling and Sylvia moved to Portland for a new adventure. Instantly feeling welcomed by PYP, she took her first barre class ever and immediately was hooked on the energy and movement. She continued to explore her practice for months leading up to completing BTT with PYP Spring 2026 - another new hat. Sylvia loves to bring the vibes to class and encourages friends to be made, compliments to be shared, and laughs to be had. 

When not at PYP, Sylvia crushes the sales world, works a few nights still in the restaurant industry, relaxes in her cozy cottage with her cats, and travels way more than you'd expect with all these side quests.
