Yoga first entered Laura Cherry’s life in 2007. With a background in dance, she walked into her first class feeling confident, assuming the practice would come easily. Instead, she discovered how inaccessible many poses were for her, an experience that humbled her deeply—and continues to shape her approach today.

In 2018, she completed her 450-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Swan River Yoga, followed by a 200-hour Meditation Teacher Training at Three Jewels NYC in 2022. Her introduction to Sound Bath came through Swan Michelle Baker, who taught her harmonium, crystal bowls, tuning forks, and a wide range of therapeutic instruments. Over time, Sound Bath has become her most recognized—and most beloved—offering.

A versatile teacher, Laura draws from extensive training across Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Adaptive, Prenatal, and Beginners Yoga. She added SATYA 1 with Tias Little (Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement) and Level 1 Relax and Renew Restorative Yoga with Judith Lasater to her education in 2024. Accessibility and alignment sit at the heart of her teaching, and she welcomes students of every body and background.

Beyond asana, she is a dedicated student of Tibetan Buddhism. This practice guides her core values: clear and compassionate communication, inclusivity without judgment, and creating a safe container for self-inquiry. Her classes are grounding, spacious, and empowering, with emphasis on dharma, nervous-system regulation, integrating body–breath–mind, and accessing inner wisdom. With a degree in psychology and lived experience, Laura also brings special sensitivity to students navigating trauma and mental health challenges.
