Cybèle Tomlinson

Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Diamond Approach Teacher

​

Cybèle has been teaching yoga since 1994 and practicing since her early twenties when she first discovered yoga. She has studied different styles, but her heart has landed her in the practice of Vini Yoga, meditation, and Yin Yoga. Her teaching is directly inspired by her own experiences with yoga and movement. She teaches in a clear, simple way, inviting students to skillfully explore and work their own "edge." She provides an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere in which to become more aware of the various layers of inner experience. Teachers who have most influenced and inspired her practice and teaching are T.K.V. Desikachar, Erich Schiffmann, Sarah Powers, Richard Miller, and Donald Moyer.

 

Cybèle has taught different styles of yoga, including Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga, at the Berkeley Downtown YMCA, Kaiser Hospital SF, 4th Street Yoga, Barefoot Yoga, and the Berkeley Yoga Center, which she co-owned for 24 years. She's led workshops, retreats, private groups, and teacher trainings. Much of her teaching currently is online; she offers small public yoga classes and workshops throughout the year. Cybèle is an ordained teacher of the Diamond Approach and works privately with students. 

​
Cybèle is the author of two books, Simple Yoga and Ayurveda Wisdom. She splits her time between Berkeley CA and Charleston SC.
