Enjoy a special one on one yoga session specifically catered to suit your personal needs with PS 267 parent, Sissy St John. Sissy combines her many years of yoga experience with Reiki and Aromatherapy to bring balance, peace and ease to the body and mind.

Sissy has been a student and teacher of Yoga for over two decades.  She trained in LA with the original founders of YogaWorks; Maty Ezraty and Chuck Miller, and studied extensively with Annie Carpenter, Sean Corn and Vinnie Marino. In 2006 Sissy moved from LA to New York to study under the guidance and tutelage of Yogiraj Alan Finger, creator and founder of ISHTA Yoga. Prior to teaching yoga she was an ACE certified personal trainer with a specialty in nutrition and worked with clients on wellness programs. 

She blends a variety of styles into her teachings always encouraging students to “listen” inwardly to allow the practice to serve and support them and to move from a place that is heart driven - uniting the body, mind and spirit and returning to wholeness.. 

Sissy teaches various levels and styles of Yoga from Beginner to Advanced, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Therapeutic/ Restorative and Pre & Postnatal. in addition to yoga she also instructs Guided Meditation with Pranayama techniques in class settings as well as privately. She incorporates music, aromatherapy and healing touch, reminding students regularly to settle into their own personal bodies while the mind rests on the breath.

Her certifications include: YogaWorks 500hr, Yoga Alliance, Anusara Yoga, Pre & Postnatal Yoga with renowned teacher Carrie Parker, Restorative Yoga with Jillian Pransky, Yin Yoga with Michele Sapanaro.  In addition to yoga she is also a certified Aromatherapist and a Reiki practitioner. These two modalities work beautifully together and she is grateful to be able to administer healing light to those in need. 

She resides in Manhattan with her husband and son and teaches around the city, working with private clients, in corporate settings, and as a regular teacher for YogaWorks.  She recently launched her own aromatherapy line available at Yogaworks.

Her great hope and mission is to help uplift and guide students to that ever present, radiant light that resides in all of us and to realize we are all illuminated beings at our core.
