Cherie

Cherie is a Certified Iyengar Yoga teacher and Office Administrator at Yoga Mandir. She first came to Iyengar Yoga after completing her initial teacher training in another system. That experience left her with questions about what it means to practise and teach yoga with authenticity and depth of understanding — questions sparked by her readings of B.K.S. Iyengar.

Through Yoga Mandir’s teacher training program, Cherie is finding a space to explore these questions through a process of self-study, both on and off the mat.

Cherie holds a Master’s in Educational Policy from the University of Illinois and has spent over 20 years as a teacher and school leader. Throughout her career, she has worked to help students and teachers connect to themselves as learners — an insight she now brings into her yoga teaching, where her background in education deepens her understanding of learning and transformation.
