Cheryl has always been an active person and grew up with an interest in dance, fitness, and yoga. She became a yoga teacher in 2003 after graduating from a 500 hr/2 yr teacher’s programme, and has taught hatha yoga for the past twenty years in Oakville, Ontario. She has also studied meditation, and became a certified iRest Yoga Nidra meditation teacher in 2021 after completing a 2 year course. This guided meditation is a research-based version of an ancient yoga practice that can be helpful for anyone wanting stress relief, and more particularly can be beneficial for those suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD, and grief.

More recently, Cheryl has become a Feldenkrais teacher. She began attending Feldenkrais movement classes about 10 years ago, and was intrigued by how different it seemed than anything else she’d ever done. Everything is done slowly and with awareness, so it feels like a kind of moving meditation. It’s not traditional stretching, but when you stand up at the end, you feel great: relaxed, supple, and energized. You stand differently, feel younger. Cheryl decided to become a Feldenkrais practitioner, and has been teaching classes since 2022.
