Cindy Chadwick
Cindy Chadwick has been a Frisco resident for twenty years and has been married to her husband Jim for over 40 years. She has two sons and two grandchildren. After being a Vice President in the Financial industry for over 30 years, she decided to pursue her passion for yoga and became certified in several Brazilian styles of therapeutic yoga designed to restore and improve the body-mind connection, functionality and quality of well-being.
​
Yoga has been a part of Cindy’s daily routine. She opened Legacy Yoga to share a yoga style that contributes to our overall wellness to live a better you. This yoga works specifically on the joints and muscles and works for anyone who wants to feel and look better, at any age and stage in their life.

Over eight years ago, Cindy starting practicing yoga after she had double fusion neck surgery and was looking for rehabilitation. She has been practicing ever since. About ten years ago, she was diagnosed with Osteo-arthritis throughout her body as well as a muscle disease called Muscular Dystrophy. With these types of diagnoses, she was still able to maintain her strength, balance and become more flexible every day.
Her goal…
“helping people improve the life they want to live.”
