laura cherry
Laura Cherry first encountered yoga in 2007. Given her background in dance, she walked into her first class feeling confident. She assumed it would be easy. Upon realizing that nearly every pose was inaccessible to her, she was deeply humbled. The practice has been humbling her ever since.
Laura completed her 450-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Swan River Yoga in 2018, and her 200-hour Meditation Teacher Training at Three Jewels NYC in 2022. Laura was introduced to Sound Bath by Swan Michelle Baker in 2018, who instructed her on the harmonium, crystal bowls, tuning forks, and many other therapeutic instruments. Over the years, Sound Bath has become Laura’s best-known (and favorite) offering.
Laura is a versatile teacher with extensive training in different forms of yoga asana, including Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Adaptive Yoga, Prenatal, and Beginners Yoga. In 2024, she completed SATYA 1 with Tias Little (Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement) and Relax and Renew Restorative Yoga Level 1 with Judith Lasater. Laura puts a high value on accessibility and alignment, and welcomes all bodies and experience levels.
Laura is available for private and group Sound Baths, Reiki, Ayurveda Consultation and Meditation Sessions via our Wellness Page.

Her classes are grounding, spacious, and empowering, with an emphasis on dharma, settling the nervous system, linking body, breath, and mind, and accessing one’s own inner wisdom. Due to her degree in psychology and her own personal experience, Laura is particularly sensitive to the needs of students coping with trauma and other mental health issues.
