Our Yoga Instructors

 Cheridan Smith is a lover of yoga, poetry, travel, sunsets, and life. Cher received her Yoga Teacher training certification in India over the summer of 2018. She received her Aerial Yoga Teacher training certification in December of 2018. She began with aerial yoga and now focuses on hatha, yin, and vinyasa flow, as well. This experience has made her passion and understanding of yoga extremely vivid. Having received the training in India, Cher feels more connected to the natural source and more at peace in her mind, body, and soul. Rumi once said, “Let yourself become living poetry.” There is no better description of what yoga is to me. Yoga is living poetry: in movement, in flow, in feelings, in connecting yourself to every breath. Yoga is an art that works with each human based on their own needs. It is a practice I do to heal, to focus, to love, to breathe, and to live each moment in the present. Let the things that help us grow and the things we love be the things we do. 

Melinda Love has been studying and teaching yoga for over 25 years. She has taught yoga from India to Maui to Florida and has studied various styles throughout her extensive career. She is 200 hour certified in the Sivananda tradition. 

Carolyn began practicing yoga as a balance to her athletic endeavors.  She began teaching as part of a rounded fitness/wellness mindset.  "I believe anyone can practice yoga and benefit from the balance of the mindfulness, wellness and fitness aspects.  It is important to modify movements to fit all bodies, ages and fitness levels so we are  left with a feeling of positive accomplishment"  -Carolyn
