About Me
Kyyio Cecil is a nature mystic and visionary guide at the nexus of embodiment, ecology, and transformation. A mother, educator, naturalist, massage therapist, yoga instructor, and herbalist, she brings over 20 years of devotion to environmental education, movement modalities, and earth-based wisdom traditions. Her multidisciplinary approach encompasses ecopsychology, mindfulness, and joyful exploration, skillfully weaving these streams into intimate nature immersions that awaken the soul.
Kyyio’s naturalist foundation was forged at the Santa Cruz and Marin County Outdoor Science schools and Great Smoky Mountain Institute at Tremont. As former Director of Outdoor Education at Point Bonita YMCA, she guided tens of thousands of students through transformative nature experiences. Her Master’s in Education, BA in Environmental Education and Outdoor Leadership, Wilderness First Aid certification, and Outward Bound training provide the skilled framework for her work.
Completing the Awake in the Wild teacher training with Mark Coleman in 2022 deepened Kyyio’s practice of nature-based mindfulness and meditation. She interweaves her ongoing study of herbalism, native and medicinal plants, and survival skills throughout her environmental education work, honoring both ancient wisdom and contemporary understanding.
As the visionary founder of NYMF (Nature, Yoga and Mindfulness Facilitation), Kyyio creates containers for profound healing and renewal through enlightening nature walks, meditation workshops, and transformative bodywork. An initiate into the living cosmologies of our planet, her embodied work returns participants to their essential belonging within the natural world. With an open heart and skilled facilitator’s presence, she invites all to restore their sensual ecology—realigning with nature’s wisdom as the gateway to personal and collective renewal.
