commitment to teaching

Sher Amos-Grosser discovered yoga during her first pregnancy in 1995, igniting a passion for mindful movement. As a lifelong athlete she has always been drawn to how movement transforms both body and mind.
Sher has been dedicated to education and service since 1991 supporting youth through nonprofit work. After a brief pivot into venture capital and startups where she met her husband Adam, she returned to what motivates her ~ advancing equity through community engagement. She worked at and served on nonprofit boards including Reading Partners Silicon Valley, Reproductive Freedom for All, 4Cs Child Care Coordinating Council of San Mateo County, My New Red Shoes, Ravenswood Classroom Partners, and Hillsborough Schools Foundation. Just before Covid hit, she offered a wellness program that provided chair yoga to local Bay Area public school teachers. Today, Sher leads inclusive, trauma-informed yoga experiences for youth in juvenile facilities, all levels yoga to athletes and executives, and personalized approaches in intimate private groups. She always blends movement, mindfulness, breath with patience and care. Her first yoga mentor, Noah Mazé, encouraged, "there is always more", Sher continues to deepen her knowledge whether it's yoga philosophy, anatomy, and neuroscience of meditation. Off the yoga mat, Sher enjoys playing tennis and golf, and most recently pickleball, cheering on the Golden State Warriors, chasing the wind on some sun-kissed water with Adam and their family, or chasing their crazy fluffy pups. Balancing with quiet moments, she is learning how to play chess, the piano, and the ukulele. |
