“Everything that exists was once only imagined” – Dr. Wayne Dyer

Hello and welcome to Yoga Teacher Journey! I’m Cher, a relatively new yoga teacher (I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in October 2018; and I completed my 300 hour YTT in July 2020.) I had the idea to create this website while going through my 200 hour yoga teacher training because I felt completely overwhelmed at times with questions in between classes and found myself searching the web for other new yoga teachers and trainees with whom I might relate. I did NOT find what I was looking for and decided to create a place for others who might be searching for answers as well. 

A little bit about me: before I began teaching yoga, I worked in higher education full time for almost 20 years. My yoga teacher journey began with taking yoga classes on my lunch breaks at work and after work a few days a week. 12 years later, I realized that yoga was important and fulfilling enough for me to become my new career. It wasn’t easy making the switch, but I’m so glad I did.

When I started my teacher journey, I was still working full-time, juggling a family and maintaining somewhat of a normal home routine. Going from working full-time, to retiring and shifting my career to solely focus on yoga was scary and not an easy adjustment at first. I feel so fortunate that I am now able to dedicate my time to doing something that I love and help others along the way. When I’m not on my mat, I’m usually spending time with my family, riding my horse, Sienna, or taking weekend adventures along the East Coast with my husband and our two dogs in our new truck camper.

It has taken some time, but with the help of my very talented and social media savvy daughter, Meg, we are finally getting this site launched!  Meg is not only savvy in the area of social media but has an amazing gift for writing – so it is only with her help that I may sound somewhat sophisticated at times (thanks Meg!).

Our hope is to provide all new yoga teachers and yoga teacher trainees a place where you feel connected, can ask questions, and gather information to help you along your journey. We’re so happy you’re here!
