Sibylle Jud
Sibylle Jud co-founded Iris, a yoga studio in Accord, NY with her husband Paul Lichtenberg in 2009. Born and raised in Switzerland, her journey of self-discovery has brought her to New York City at the age of 21, where she was using the camera as a way of looking inward while looking out at the world around. Her quest to go deeper and expand her vision beyond the physical world eventually opened up the world of yoga through immersions and teacher trainings. Her dream of creating a place for people to gather and heal in community, where authentic relationships are at the core of transformation, became real when she and her husband decided to move out of the city to create Iris and start a family. She is the mother of two boys, Teo and Sebastian, now 14 and 12 years old. Her desire to be of service and her love of learning and expansion, has lead her to study with Claire Zammit to become a certified Feminine Power coach and facilitator. Her work as a coach is also informed by the Positive Intelligence model, the work with her mentor Jim Fortin, breathwork, dreamwork, authentic movement, trauma informed yoga, and all the friends who are her mirrors and teachers and fellow seekers on this journey called life.
