Cindy’s entrepreneurial spirit parallels her passion to help others and build community wherever she goes. Intuitively, Cindy knows that happiness is achieved by lifting up those around her, and she truly embodies this belief in everyday life. Through her work with numerous charities, schools, and countless volunteer positions, she believes there is room for everyone at her table and warmly welcomes them all. This philosophy began in her large close-knit family and is shared seamlessly with her four children, Brett, Jack, Charlotte, and Kathryn, who inspire her to live each day to the fullest. The generosity of spirit can be felt throughout the Atha Yoga Foundation.

Brian Zemil

Board Member

Brian is a lawyer by trade and a yogi for life. Brian is a partner at an international law firm and will serve the Board by providing legal guidance to the Atha Foundation and a commitment to serving our community. Brian promotes and supports a wide range of legal-related civic and charitable endeavors.

Legal foundations and organizations have recognized Brian for his distinguished service to the legal profession and the community (Ed Shea Professionalism Award, MVLS Educator of the Year Award, Benjamin R. Civilletti pro bono of the year award, and for serving on legal service boards). His yogic experiences influence Brian’s passion for public service. He is a former member of the Wise Heart Community in Baltimore (Bihar School of Yoga affiliate). He has been practicing asana for over twenty years with masters, including Dharma Mittra, while also studying and translating Santana-Dharma texts from original Sanskrit to English, attending yogic study retreats, and presenting yoga-related topics at Satsangs.

Brian believes in the power of Mantra and is a Kirtan enthusiast attending musical gatherings led by Krishna Das, Bhagavan Das, and Jahnavi Harrison. Through these experiences, Brian cherishes and seeks to perpetuate the spirit of Bhakti-Yoga and the ideal of “loka-samgraha,” literally translated as “drawing together the world.”

Dr. Heather Zinzella Cox, MD is a retired Family Medicine physician with extensive expertise in geriatrics, hospice care, and medical facility management. Over her career, she practiced in diverse settings, including an academic teaching hospital and a free community clinic. After building and later selling a large nursing home practice to a publicly traded medical group, she served as a National Medical Director for the organization.

Heather then transitioned to corporate medicine, becoming the Medical Director for Optum Care of Pennsylvania and Delaware. Following a diagnosis of multiple chronic autoimmune diseases, she embraced holistic healing through yoga, mindfulness, and integrative medicine, incorporating functional and naturopathic approaches. Throughout her career, Heather forged strong partnerships with community resources to enhance patient care and grow her practice. She now brings that collaborative vision to the ATHA Foundation, aiming to expand outreach, increase visibility, and market its services effectively.
