She took her first yoga class in 1998 while studying at the University of Cincinnati where she obtained a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Addictions Studies and graduate training in Clinical Psychology. She felt an immediate connection to yoga and began practicing regularly, experimenting with different styles. In 2009 she was forced to quit running after 17 years and used yoga to rehabilitate both body and spirit. It was during this time she found Baptiste style power yoga and knew she finally found a practice that spoke to her on every level. Cheryl is an Associate Baptiste Power Vinyasa teacher.
