path to yogaAs a four-sport varsity athlete, Sher was drawn to movement's positive impact on her mood and health. Her yoga journey began serendipitously in 1995, during her first pregnancy while coaching basketball, as recommended by another coach.
Her yoga practice blossomed into a profound source of healing and community, especially during the COVID quarantine. This inspired her to found Edu-Wellness, partnering with local elementary schools to share yoga's benefits with teachers. Today, Sher's yoga expertise spans diverse settings with a focus on individual and group needs in an inclusive, all-levels approach. Her journey showcases yoga's power to heal and strengthen emphasizing overall wellness. off the matSher was raised in New York then California. In education and nonprofit for most of her career, she briefly pivoted to a venture firm and a start-up where she met her husband Adam.
Service driven since 1990, Sher sat on local and regional nonprofit boards: Reading Partners Silicon Valley, NARAL Pro-Choice, Ravenswood Classroom Partners, and 4Cs Child Care Coordinating Council. She volunteers in an East Palo Alto elementary school. You'll find Sher at her favorite gym, on a tennis court or golf course for more social-than-competitive play, rucking lightly and slowly with her pups, and playing mahjong with friends. Sher and Adam raised their daughters and now chase their fluffy companions. |
