Cheryl Uphill
Yoga TrainerCheryl’s passion for lifelong learning in holistic health & focus for well-being, started in the early 90’s after a physical way of life in martial arts for 25 years. In search for balance, restoration and managing persistent pain she discovered Yoga, Meditation and Energetics’. The melding of these disciplines created a blended Mind/Body/Spirit approach. With the internal balance & focus that she acquired through hard style karate, her transition to Yoga Therapy was a natural progression that led to her into incorporating ancient practices into her daily life.
Just as Karate was a way of life for Cheryl, then so became the Yin/Yang of Yoga and many certifications to follow, including: 200hr Hatha @ Anand Praksh, in India and 500hr Yoga Therapy @ HOE, Yoga Nidra, Hot, Yin, Restorative, Advanced Chronic Pain Management, Thai Yoga Massage, Dermo Neuromodulation, Marma Therapy, Human Dissection training, Compassionate Inquiry and is a Certified Yoga Therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapy.
Cheryl honours’ being a Holistic Educator & imbues Mind/Body/Spirit Curriculum into all her teachings with knowledge and surrender.
