passion to teach
|
Sher fell in love with movement’s impact on mind and body. She discovered yoga in 1995 during her first pregnancy --while coaching basketball in an under-resourced community-- sparking a lifelong passion.
Dedicated to education and service, Sher spent much of her career supporting under-served youth through nonprofit work. As a single mother, she pivoted into venture capital and startups, eventually joining @Home Networks, where she met Adam who she later married. Despite this professional shift, her commitment to service continued—she served on nonprofit and advisory boards, including Reading Partners Silicon Valley, NARAL Pro-Choice, 4Cs Child Care Coordinating Council, and Ravenswood Classroom Partners. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sher launched Edu-Wellness, a nonprofit bringing chair yoga’s transformative and accessible benefits to public school teachers. Today, she blends movement and mindfulness to create inclusive yoga experiences—supporting youth in juvenile facilities, training athletes and sports teams, guiding executives in corporate settings, and individuals and small groups in more intimate settings. Beyond yoga and service, Sher enjoys walking her pups, playing tennis and golf, and gathering with friends and family. She and Adam raised their daughters and now chase their furry companions. |
