Cheryl loves teaching kids. She started her career focusing on elementary education and taught in the classroom for twelve years with the Fulton County School System before taking a mentoring position as a Reading and Curriculum Specialist. In 1998, the birth of her triplet girls began her journey as a Mom and it was at this time she started to practice yoga. After three years of balancing motherhood and yoga, she decided to marry her passion for teaching children with her dedication towards yoga. She became a certified YogaKids instructor in 2003 and quickly moved on to become a Certified YogaKids Trainer. She was instrumental in developing the YogaKids Tools for Schools program and loves currently serves as a Foundations and Certification Trainer for YogaKids International. Cheryl is a registered teacher with the Yoga Alliance and is certified to teach YogaKids, Radiant Child, Laughter Yoga, Correlation Vinyasa Yoga, Hot Core Power Yoga and Anusara Inspired Yoga. She has been teaching at Decatur Yoga and Pilates since it opened its doors in 2003. She loves creating unique classes such as“Ha Ha Hot” and “Yoga for Stiff Guys” . Always active within the schools, Cheryl continues to introduce yoga into the classrooms throughout Georgia. She initiated an after school “Yoga Club” which organically spawned the concept of the “Grounded Kids”… this program unites children’s and adult yoga, delivering a unique experience for kids of all ages. (For more information, see www.gogrounded.com) Cheryl has found that wherever you are, be it a classroom, a faculty or PTA meeting, or the grocery store, it is essential to create positive energy. Teaching kids to be responsible for creating that energy in the classroom is very powerful. Her dream is to spread the gift of yoga to children everywhere.
