Cheryl Ellis
I am a Senior Yoga Teacher with Yoga Medicine and a YM Therapeutic Specialist. I started practicing yoga almost 20 years ago, which eventually blossomed into a passion for teaching.
After years of dedicated practice, I completed Zenways Yoga Teacher’s Training under Zen master Daizan Skinner. I continued to train in Yin Yoga with Teachers Norman Blair and Sarah Lo, and have since completed my 300hr Senior Training with Yoga Medicine, covering modules in Orthopaedic Injury (Hip, Spine and Shoulder), Myofascial Release, Women’s Health, Mental Health, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Meditation.
I am passionate about using yoga as a form of medicine for the mind, body and spirit. Inspired to support others to achieve healthier, stronger bodies and calmer minds, I love to share the practice and the numerous benefits it can bring to peoples lives and well-being.
