Mentorship with Meghan Smith Cherf

I began practicing yoga in 2012 and began teaching in 2015. Since then I've completed over 100 hours of trauma-informed and social justice-oriented yoga trainings that heavily influence my teaching today. My approach focuses on returning agency to the student, and encouraging each person to recognize the guidance of their own innate wisdom--the teacher that lies within each of us. I'm passionate about creating accessible and nurturing spaces where students can explore strength and softness, effort and ease, and every place in between at their own pace. 

In addition to managing the yoga program at Seattle Bouldering Project, I’ve taught a wide array of students in a variety of settings including yoga studios in Seattle and New Zealand, community classes with elderly refugees at the International Rescue Committee, and eating disorder treatment centers at both residential and outpatient levels of care. I’ve also worked with corporate clients including Allen Institute for AI, Food Lifeline, and WellSaid Labs to provide bespoke staff wellness events. When I'm not facilitating yoga, I enjoy spending any time outside, whether it's hiking in the Cascades, paddle boarding on Puget Sound, or lying in the grass at a local park. I was born and raised in Seattle so you'll never find me far from the mountains or the sea.

I extend gratitude to my teachers, Danielle Day, Meghan Smith Cherf, Seane Corn, Hala Khouri, Suzanne Sterling, Mei Lai Swan, Jo Buick, and countless others for their guidance, encouragement, and support along this path.
