Sydney Podolski

Hi, I’m Sydney Podolski, a yoga and meditation teacher based in the greater Cleveland area, in Ohio. My classes and workshops invite students to explore yoga as a lifelong practice. They blend mindful movement and stillness, with a strong leaning towards meditation and philosophy.

Since beginning my practice in 2013, I’ve delved into and studied Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative and Yin Yoga, Chanting, both yoga philosophy and Buddhist teachings, and Traditional Chinese Medicine theory. I take a functional approach to teaching, focusing less on achieving specific shapes and more on how the practice feels in all aspects. Physically, energetically, mentally, and spiritually.

I offer a wide range of experiences, from gentle and restorative sessions to steady all-levels vinyasa and slow flow classes. My workshops vary from restorative evenings to seasonal yin yoga, meditation intensives, and philosophy-based offerings that encourage both deep rest and deep study.

I’d love to welcome you at an upcoming class or workshop.
