Cherise specializes in play and fun, coming from a background working in all things related to games. She began taking yoga classes as a fun way to relieve stress in 2015, and returned in 2020 to begin her training as a certified instructor through the IYT 200 Hour program. Down to try anything twice, Cherise enjoys all types of ways to practice yoga, including just about any mat class, but she finds the most joy in the swing. While quiet and stillness are important aspects of yoga, Cherise's classes strive to bring an atmosphere of fun and levity to her student's practice. Cherise enjoys playing games, creating art and making music.

Lee came to yoga in an effort to relieve stress and anxiety during graduate school. She found the mindfulness and focus of yoga practice gave her a new perspective as she prepared for the difficulties of balancing classes, research, and her job. Lee is drawn to the grounding effects of her yoga practice and the safe space yoga gives her to shut out the world a few times during the week.
In 2018, Lee completed yoga teacher training at Integrative Yoga Therapy and is excited to provide that same space she finds so necessary for peaceful introspection and rejuvenation for her students each week.
If Lee isn’t at IYT, she’s probably teaching freshman biology at Greenville Technical College or is outside in the woods, mountain biking, running, or playing in a creek with her hubby and their dog, Jessi.

Suzanne transitioned from a home practice to one at IYT in 2014. She loves all forms of Yoga, but Aerial yoga has come to be her passion. After months of daily practice, Suzanne completed IYT’s Aerial teacher training and began teaching in 2015. She is excited to continue her training, as she pursues her 200-hr teacher training in 2016. When she’s not on her yoga mat, Suzanne loves to spend time with her husband, their children and grandchildren. You can often find Suzanne in her garden or on the lake.

Zachariah’s journey in health and wellness began in 2003 when he earned his black belt in Kuk Sool Won (a South Korean martial art). His interests since have included Tai-chi, Qigong, and Yoga.
