Jodi Sibilia, originally from Northern Vermont, earned her BA in Studio Art before venturing into emergency medical training in upstate New York. After managing a photography darkroom at Barrett Art Center and teaching children's classes, she pursued a Master's Degree in Teaching in Pittsburgh. Returning to New York, she balanced teaching art in public schools with a passion for wellness and yoga, leading to the establishment of Yoga By The Lake in 2015.

Transitioning to a full-time career in wellness and creative design, Sibilia curated galleries and played a key role in local arts organizations. From 2021 to 2023, she curated The Narrowsburg Union Galleries and later the Delaware Valley Opera Center-Art Nest in 2023, showcasing and supporting local artists. Currently residing in Lake Huntington, New York, she actively contributes to the Cochecton Volunteer Ambulance Corps, organizing fundraising and outreach events, and leading the development of a sensory garden for communal use. Jodi Sibilia's diverse contributions reflect her commitment to both the artistic and well-being aspects of her community.

The Winter Wellness series extends an invitation to the community to come together for soul-nourishing connections at the dawn of the new year.

Embracing themes of new beginnings, self-care, and overall health and wellness, the classes offer a diverse range of experiences. From  expressive arts activities that ignite a creative flow to gentle mind-body practices like yoga and sound healing that warm both the body and spirit.

Facilitated by a rotation of guest artists and wellness practitioners from the local area, these classes offer a holistic approach to well-being.
