Movement is the action that breaks up the stagnant energy we hold within ourselves.
Cherry Yoga Studio is here to help clear that blockage and bring momentum back into your life.
Our retreats focus on adventure, community, and education that nurture the body, mind, and spirit. We use yoga as our main tool, then go beyond the pose to explore the deeper benefits of each posture. We travel to locations infused with the earth’s natural energy vortexes to activate our chi and deepen our connection to the elements. Along the way, we incorporate crystals, meditation, hypnotherapy, tarot, sound bowls, and the magic of journaling. Our adventures take place in high-end, luxurious settings where we use the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water to awaken the soul. We're excited to meet you and have you join our cherry-community.

A Journey to Strength and Clarity Retreat

Coming Soon

Meditation changed everything for me.

Just 10 minutes a day…and suddenly life feels quieter, clearer, softer.

It’s not about “stopping your thoughts”
it’s about learning how to sit with them… without letting them run the show.

To listen.
To feel.
To notice.

The air on your skin.
The sounds around you.
The stillness within you.

That’s where presence lives.
That’s where you come back to yourself.

Start small.
10 minutes. That’s it.

Watch how your whole life begins shift ✨️
#meditation #beachvibes

Waking up, pulling my tarot cards, journaling, taking a 15-minute walk, jumping up and down, and saying my affirmations doesn’t actually take that long but it completely resets me.

It brings me back to myself… and reminds me how much I truly love who I am.

And the more I notice that love within me, the more I see it reflected back to me from the world around me.

Send me a DM if you'd like me to pull your tarot cards 💕

This is your life. 💕
LETS F-ING GOOOOO!
Now say it back!

So we just started March, and if you feel like you're repeating the same month over and over again, there is a way out. And it starts with community, you need stability and accountability. Because this is your time to switch it up.
This is your time to start living your life, not repeating the same thing over and over again because you're tired of it! I can tell!
Join us for a 3 day reset. We need to get you out of your regular daily rut. Lets go to a place where all 5 senses will be activated, your nervous system regulated and your heart opened ♥️
If this sounds like something you're needeing assistance with, join us. We're here to help you on your journey! Send us a DM so we may discuss what your goals are.

Beyond the Pose is a three-day reset for managers who are ready to stop living in constant availability and start creating real balance between work and home.
This isn’t about escaping your life. It’s about learning how to lead it differently.
The retreat begins with a three-day initiation, a full nervous system reset, but real change requires consistency. That’s why we guide you through the next 90 days with structure, accountability, and community support to help you implement what you’ve learned.
This isn’t temporary inspiration.
It’s a system that creates sustainable support in your personal life so you have more time for yourself, more space for self-care, and more passion for your work, with boundaries that actually hold.
This is not the kind of retreat where you feel amazing for a weekend and return to the same cycle on Monday. This is the beginning of a new rhythm.
One where you wake up energized for work, and when you log off, you’re fully present with yourself. Because you’re no longer last on your own list. This is your life. Life is meant to be lived. (Yes, I took that from Bridgerton, but it really is a true line!)

You’ve mastered holding it all together for EVERYONE. Your boss, your co-workers, your family and your friends. You feel like you're doing a pretty good job, but theres this guilt that plays in your head like "can I take some time just for me?" And you want real time for yourself, not just a day off to do your errands.
I was like that too. And it felt like no one was going to stop me or my determination to over-work myself. So, I had to make the decision on my own because I was tired of being tired. When I noticed I designated time slots for certain tasks and added a REAL LUNCH HOUR so I could eat, and a ME TIME slot for me to take a yoga class or take a walk a small change started to happen. I started to smile more! I had something to look forward too every day! And the more I smiled, the more joy started to authentically come back in my life. I was beginning to feel like a NEW me. One that was feeling connection, happiness, love and gratitude.
That brought me to this one thought:
High-achieving women don’t burn out because they’re incapable. They burn out because they never let themselves unravel.
I've created a retreat to help you with your first steps out of that routine. And It’s about finally letting yourself release that tension in a space that can hold you.
If you’re exhausted from performing strength… this was built for you.
DM me “RESET" if this resonated with you.

If you’re feeling confused about yoga and just craving a little clarity, what it really is, how it can support you, or how to actually integrate it into your daily life - I’ve created something for you.

Every Wednesday at 7 PM CST, I host a free webinar where I teach The Cherry Yoga Alignment Method. Its my top three foundational principles you need to understand to truly advance your practice.

These are the things most classes don’t break down.

Once you learn them, you’ll move with more confidence whether you’re in a studio class or practicing at home with YouTube.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start understanding your body on the mat, come join me 💫
Reply READY and Ill send you the link for the zoom invite!

Let's talk about Yoga - balance is probably the third thing that I usually teach people. The first thing is, breath foundation balance, then twists.
I hope this balance tip helps you in your practice. And remember that falling doesn't really hurt, its the landing, so aim for the mat!

Nothing in this life is guaranteed so I refuse to live it on autopilot.
I was done carrying everyone else’s weight and calling it responsibility.
I chose myself.

If my life, my practice, and what yoga has taught me helps you transform yours, then that’s the work.
That’s the impact.

I’m not here to play it safe.
I’m here to experience it all.

Let’s go. ⚡

If you’re in a season where everything feels heavy,
a divorce, a career shift, being overworked and underpaid, constantly taking care of everyone else, trying to “hold it together” while keeping a smile in your face... this is burnout. Deep burnout.

And here’s the truth we don’t talk about enough:
some transitions are not meant to be done alone.

I know this because I’ve been there- more than once. It feels like every decade (for me) life asks me to shed a version of myself and step into something new. Last year, I went through it again… and I didn’t white-knuckle my way through. I got support. I used tools. I let myself be held.

I’ve gathered all the tools that supported me through burnout and major life transitions and distilled them into a 3-day immersive yoga retreat called Beyond The Pose.

This is your invitation to join us so you too, can feel freedom again 💕

This isn’t about escaping your life.
It’s about recalibrating it. Send us a DM if this calls to you.

As a yoga instructor, it honestly breaks my heart when I see students trying to advance into postures without first understanding the foundation.

So many people rush toward the “advanced” shape, but without stability, awareness, and proper alignment, progress actually slows and may cause injuries that are longterm.

That’s why I created my coaching program, where I create a personal plan for you with the foundations of my program: The Cherry Alignment

I teach you how to truly understand the foundations of each posture, how to create stability in your body, and how to advance with confidence, faster and more effectively than just taking random classes or following YouTube videos.

This Wednesday, I’m hosting a free masterclass at 7:00 PM CST, and I’d absolutely love for you to join me and check it out.

✨ Come learn what’s possible when you go beyond the pose!

Valentine’s Day looks different when love is rooted in growth, adventure, and presence. ❤️
Grateful to share this life, this work, and these wild moments with all of you!

Meditation practice:
Take a moment to reflect on yourself. Put your hand over your heart and say "I love you" over and over again. Even if it feels silly. Keep saying it until it feels natural. Breathe slowly 🐌 😌

XOXO,
Lyssa

Practicing at your local Yoga studio is phenomenal And I encourage you to do that for your entire lifetime... what Id like to say is if you are feeling that you need to go would like more clarity of your practice while resetting your nervous system in a space of luxury and comfort Then, that's what this retreat's gonna help you accomplish.
After with the retreat, you'll be surrounded by community, accountability and care for 90 days in our program (included for free). The community of friends that you just created and more. I've never known any other Yoga Retreat Company to do that. This is why it's very important for you to know that Hunter and I created this retreat for that specifically for you from us.. Because we wanted to retreat that continues education and clarity for all its attendees. So, we build it, and we invite you to come along, see you soon! #yogaretreat #yogalife #personaldevelopment #tulumyogaretreat

I don't practice Yoga to change my life. I practice Yoga to feel it. I was functioning, working, showing up, but my body felt distant like I was living from the neck up managing life instead of feeling it, let me tell you something gently... It's okay if you don't know how to slow down.
Most of us were never taught how to listen to our bodies only how to push through it. When I first started practicing Yoga I thought the goal was to get it right; perfect angles, perfect postures, and when I taught, I taught that way to make sure my students would accomplish those goals as well. But through my last 15 years of teaching I've noticed that my body is asking for something different. And more. Maybe yours is too
I want to take you on a trip so that, we can learn Yoga beyond the Pose and stop performing Yoga and start learning how its incorporated to everyday life. Getting out of our daily routine so that your body can stay present in the moments.
In the moments where you stop overriding yourself and start paying attention. That's where regulation happens. That's where clarity returns. And that's where trust is rebuilt. Beyond the Pose Is Created for those who were tired of forcing their way into wellness for those who are capable thoughtful and doing all the right things.But still feel disconnected inside their own body. This retreat is not a vacation its a reintroduction, a space to slow down feel again And remember that your body isn't a problem to fix it's a system thats been waiting for your attention. If you're ready to stop performing and start listening I invite you to join us at Beyind The Pose Yoga Retreat This April. Send me a DM if this is peaking your curiosity.

Are you thirsty? I think it's time for you to come get some water! Join me at Kaaba Luum, in Tulum, Mexico for Yoga retreat. Beyond the pose is where we're able to engulf ourselves in the freshest, coolest water that heals us mentally physically and spiritually. I hope you take a moment to check it out and see if it's a right fit for you. Follow us for more information. #yogalife #bestyogaretreats #tulumyogaretreat #entrepreneur #loveyourlife💯

One of the main goals in taking a Yoga class is to releasing all that pent-up energy and a Yoga instructors know exactly what to do. We twist you around. We let you hold poses. We tell you to engage your core about 500 times a class, and there's a reason for that. Because we want you to let it go. Let it go, do not worry about giggles. Because nobody really does giggle when that happens, but if they do, that's okay. And it's natural, don't worry, its occupational hazard. We're used to it; it literally happens almost every class we teach. Okay love you bye. #fartsounds #occupationalhazard #bestyogaretreats #yogalife

Booked a flight.
Threw on a backpack.
Didn’t overthink it.

Life felt loud.
Same routine. Same scroll.
Needed space, not a party.

Tulum slowed everything down.
Good food.
Moving my body.
Actual quiet.

No pretending.
No “retreat persona.”
Just learning how my body works
and getting out of my head.

That’s what Beyond the Pose is.
Not an escape.
A reset you can actually take home.

If you’ve been running on autopilot,
this might be your sign.
Send me a DM when youre ready to take the next step.

POV: imagine this is your April

Morning movement in the jungle.
Afternoon swimming in cenotes.
Evenings integrating what you’ve learned and devouring the most delicious and fresh food.

3 days and 3 nights at Kaaba Luum
Two meals daily prepared by Private Chef
