Sherie is an Experienced Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher (E-RYT®) with RYT® 500 Teaching Hours & a Continuing Education Provider (YACEP) who has been practicing yoga for twelve years, and has over 3,000 teaching hours.  Having no previous athletic background on gymnastics and other flexibility-focused sports growing up, her first months of yoga proved to be extremely challenging.  Instead of giving up, Sherie took the challenge as an inspiration to further deepen her practice, devoting time and patience.  Aside from learning the technicalities of yoga postures and philosophies, her immersion in the practice taught her self-discipline, patience and most importantly, being present.  

 

Over a decade of career in finance, keeping an active lifestyle (running, swimming, biking, martial arts), parenting and sports injuries didn’t stop her from a consistent practice. After getting injured in Tae kwon do, yoga helped her to recover emotionally and physically, get back into it, and become a Black Belt in Tae kwon do.  She then decided to become a yoga teacher to share the healing and physical benefits of yoga to others, as she has experienced herself.   Her classes are a lively mix of balance, strength and flexibility, focusing on alignment and breathing.  Sherie teaches and practices Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa, Budokon and Power Yoga.  She is also a Meditation, Yoga Nidra and Creative Therapy Guide, Mentor and Coach.  She has trained, practiced and still studies with Master Teachers Tim Feldmann, Kino McGregor, Rich Logan, Dr. Indu Aurora, Kathryn Budig, Cameron Shayne, Donato Helbing, Alexia Bauer, Karen Nielsen, Margarida Tree, Klaudia Romero, Allison English, Carmen Aguilar and Eddy Rivero. 

 

Sherie is also a visual artist/painter. Merging her passions for both art and yoga, she started Painted Yoga™ to inspire creativity and encourage others to express and rediscover themselves through art and the practice of yoga. One of a kind canvas painting is created using the body and the practice of yoga as art media.

 

Her own dedicated practice and style of teaching inspire her students to rediscover their true selves and explore their capabilities, empowering them with their own unique potentials. Showing them that just like art, yoga don’t have to be perfect, that’s why it’s called a ‘practice’.
