CHERALEE JONES
Cher found her way to the healing power of yoga after having undergone several severe physical injuries during her adolescence, her permanent spinal injury being the worst. She found that precise alignment in asana combined with genuine inner inquiry greatly supported her healing process and restoration of her body structure. With time and devotion to her practice, she discovered a deeper wholeness, presence, and aliveness in life overall.
"Presence connects us with our breath; the breath anchors us into presence. I believe all of life is a sacred ceremony, every moment and every breath. The lineage teachings I carry come from Tirumalai Krishnamacarya. My teachers studied extensively with T.K.V. Desikachar, B.K.S. Iyengar, and Sri Pathabi Jois, 3 of Krishnamacarya's students who created 3 very different yogic systems that spread throughout the world. The transmission I bring forth is a fusion of these 3 systems (Yini, Iyengar, and Ashtanga Yoga), infused with the feminine wisdom of my womb and our Earth Mother. I share yoga as a sustainable self-healing practice. If we allow it to, this practice and way of life will help us dissolve blockages and re-align with our true nature; Bliss. From this space, the clarity of why we came here to Earth at this time in these particular bodies can naturally arise.” – Cher Joy
What You’ll Love About The Yoga Forest…
The Yoga Forest was founded as a sustainable living experiment, through a desire for living simply, greenly and in communion with everything surrounding us.
In yoga practice, we clear the body and mind making space for wisdom and deeper understanding to flow freely and openly. In making space, we allow ourselves to experience our fullness and connection to everything around us. Yoga is therefore about cultivating flow through the body and mind and opening up to optimal experience - union.
Permaculture follows the same principles. In Permaculture, we are essentially making space for the wisdom of the entire system to fully flow, to become a more open and thriving container for life. Permaculture teaches us to observe the natural environment and work with rather than against the natural order of flow. Thus, in Permaculture we are also cultivating union. Through the Yoga of Permaculture, we are facilitating the experience of Yoga as deep ecology – by allowing the ecosystem, and ourselves within that system, to demonstrate their own evolution.
