“Having never practiced yoga before meeting Cher, I was extremely nervous at just the thought of it, let alone actually stepping foot inside a yoga studio. In hindsight, I didn’t realize how lucky I was to have Cher as the person to introduce me to this world.
Cher is possibly one of the most calming and encouraging teachers I have ever met. Without her enveloping me from day one with her positive and inclusive demeanor, I don’t think I would have lasted more than one class. It’s Cher’s ability to connect and combine a highly motivating physical workout with a mental one that keeps me coming back. I lacked that body-mind connection in so many other exercise programs in the past.
Most importantly, I feel free to be me in her classes. I never feel preached to; she doesn’t make me feel like I must conform to the ideals or morals she teaches me during the practice. She encourages me to listen and apply my own sensibilities to what I am hearing and interpret my own sense of self, all without judgment.
I truly feel stronger and I feel like a better human—not just in the physical sense but mentally and emotionally as well. I believe you truly know a great teacher when you meet one, and I am beyond grateful to have Cher as mine.”
