Hosts - To make sure atvara clients have the best experience possible, our hosts are friendly, informative, and ready to serve. An atvara host will assist clients in scheduling, checking in for class, preparing for a float in the flotation pod or a session in the salt room. All atvara hosts help keep the studio and facility ready to say "Welcome!" to clients. And of course, our hosts offer deep knowledge about wellness and atvara services.
Cindy
Cindy resides in Kernersville, NC and has a long history in health and wellness. She is an avid gardener and a thirteen year cancer survivor/thriver using only natural treatments. As an Alternative Medicine Adviser she has a background in Holistic Medicine, which includes: Aromatherapy, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, and Ayruveda.
Her passion is to share her knowledge and experience to bring health, healing, and balance by using an integrative approach for body, mind, and spirit by emphasizing proper nutrition, gut health, supplementation, herbal remedies, body movement, essential oils, meditation, and breathing.
Cindy is also a Norwex Consultant, teaching people how to radically reduce chemical use in their homes and personal care which directly effects their health.
In 2017, Cindy retired from 27 years of teaching, and started part time at the studio in early 2018. Her interest in natural medicine fits perfectly in the atmosphere at Atvara.
Yoga has always been a part of Cindy's life, but she had never experienced "hot yoga" until coming to the studio with her daughter. Cindy commented, how had she missed out on this so long! What wonderful healing body therapy! Cindy is thrilled to be part of the Atvara team and enjoys interacting with all who enter this relaxing and restorative place.
TONI
Toni connected with yoga in her youth while training as a powerlifter and CrossFit teen athlete when she felt she found herself needing to reconnect with her body and renew her love for movement. In her adulthood, her education focused on Biological sciences with a minor in Human Resources. She has since found herself pursuing a career in teaching. Toni enjoys weightlifting, running, and recreating outdoors—though she is now accompanied by (her favorite person) her husband, Jared. The two will soon be joined by their newest adventure buddy coming Fall 2026.
