Cheri damschroder ~ she/her
dwell collective teacher

Always loving body movement kept me biking, dancing, singing, even traveling.  As an educator there were no boundaries.  Watching the human body, human race evolve through a lifetime lead me to the yoga teaching I lead today.

I tried formal classes about 15 years ago and after a curious workshop in Santa Fe with Tias Little I knew I would continue teaching but now through yoga.  Yoga has been my friend through breast cancer and recovery 9 years ago.  Thus, yoga as therapy and prevention is intertwined into my philosophy, Yoga as medicine for mind, body and spirit.

Classes vary from one day to another as I enjoy experimenting with props. The WALL routine has become a favorite of many students: balancing, bending, twisting.  Total floor stretch every which way is relaxing yet a workout they tell me.  Then there are the standard poses done slowly, going deeper, exploring muscles, your axis, your center at a pace anyone can sink into.  And of course the flow: taking your breath with you into each pose, experience, each day. All levels welcome and personal attention at your request.

dwell collective teacher

I am a Pediatrician, wife, mother of 3, and advocate for health and wellness

I began practicing yoga after the birth of my 3rd child.  It helped to ground me in the chaos of balancing a career and a family. Fifteen years later, yoga is part of my daily routine, helping me to re-center, allowing my body to release the stress from the day, and reminding me to “go with the flow”.  I have trained in Bikyasa, Bikram, Ashtanga and Yin, receiving my 200RYT training in the spring of 2020.

My classes focus on being present, listening to your body, and understanding how movements and postures will benefit your body. With each class, my goal is for you to feel better mentally and physically when you leave, than you felt at the beginning of class!

Jane Bloom ~ she/her
Dwell collective teacher

I am a connector, healer, yoga teacher, and lifelong student of yoga. I am a mother, counselor, author, and love to travel.

I have always been drawn to athletics and discovered yoga in college as a soulful exploration that went beyond the body and into the heart.  After earning a master’s degree in Counseling and Educational Psychology and practicing as a therapist for 17 years, I merged my interest in healing and movement and opened DwellYoga four years ago. I have two 200 RYT yoga teacher certifications and am endlessly inspired by the creativity of teaching and it's potential to help others find peace on and off the mat. 

I am committed to offering a yoga studio that promotes inclusive community, personal growth and wellbeing. My heartfelt teachings bring together creative sequencing, precision of alignment, and an embodiment that encourages students to deepen awareness, one pose at a time.

Jessica Vidal ~ she/heR
DWELL COLLECTIVE TEACHER

My yoga journey began in 2018 due to sciatica pain and stiffness in my hips. I was an athlete and strength trainer for much of my life, so I understand the important benefits fitness plays in my life and for others. I value the essential role for balance of all fitness programs. I developed a love and deep appreciation for yoga but am deeply rooted in resistance/weight training. Yoga has helped me heal through a mind body connection that spilled over into my fitness regimen. I describe myself as a forever student. Yoga has helped me overcome not only my physical challenge but, more importantly, has helped me heal emotionally. I like to pair physical rehabilitation utilizing my massage therapy background and personal training education with my skillset in yoga to hold a safe place for students. Yoga saved my life, Massage school helped me release, and Weight Training gave me the ability to regain my power back. I am forever grateful. The time is now, I choose this life to serve and share my wisdom with others.

LANOVA SHEETS
DWELL COLLECTIVE TEACHEr

“I am a free-spirited butterfly dancing on a purple moon.” This descriptor was created for me by fellow travelers on a spiritual journey. They got me!

When I retired in 2006, I followed my intuition and started taking yoga classes. After a few years, I enrolled in teacher training. I didn’t know if I wanted to teach, but I wanted to deepen my practice and learn the history and philosophy of yoga. I enjoy teaching yin, restorative and flow classes. One of the most rewarding parts of this adventure has been realizing that I can combine travel and training anywhere in the world.

In my classes, I weave the ancient teachings of yoga into the class theme. Yoga is an inside job and so much more than just the asanas (poses). When you step on the mat, my intention is that you will dwell within, find your own wisdom/truth and take it with you off the mat.

Lorena Torres ~ she/her
dwell collective teacher

My name is Lorena Torres and I am born and raised in Las Cruces, NM. I dance because it is a fun way to release negative thoughts and feelings, live in the moment, create positivity and love within, and deepen your connection with self. I also believe it is a great way to break a sweat, maintain flexibility, and mobility. My classes are like a party! We come together in a safe space, where we can express ourself through intuitive dance, and minimal choreography. I like to call my style, sassy groove, with hip hop and Latin influence. I hope to dance with you soon!

Maria AGOSTO ~ she/her
dwell collective teacher

I am a New Mexico native, plant enthusiast, yoga teacher and expansive entrepreneur.

I started practicing yoga in 2015, in my living room from YouTube videos. After years of running and crossfit, yoga became a form of exercise where I didn't have to be the best or fastest, just my best self. In 2018, I became a certified Kids Yoga Teacher and in 2019 I received my 200HR RYT. Yoga has offered me powerful tools to help navigate stress and promote my overall wellness.

My classes offer space to just be, and observe yourself with kindness and curiosity. I encourage my students to explore movement and connect with the breath. You can expect to leave my classes feeling calm, refreshed and with a deeper connection to yourself. My classes are accessible to all, body, mind and soul.

NANCY PORTILLO
DWELL COLLECTIVE TEACHER

I'm a dog mom of 2, curious biologist, explorer of the outdoors, enjoyer of the indoors, music lover, sunset chaser and craft-maker. I'm an amalgamation of borderland experiences, adventures and deep connections.

Yoga found me in 2015, my first guided meditation experience occurred through movement and I was drawn deeper to explore these practices. I practice yoga as a return to love, to myself. The practice helps me tune into my mind, energy , sensation, and it teaches me to move and listen through the rough & uncomfortable edges of life.


My classes are high energy, filled with creative sequences that aim to build strength, spiral movements to promote spinal wellbeing, power and flexibility through yoga postures, cardio spikes, and plyometrics.

Nicole Mandall
dwell collective teacher

I am Public Health professional, yoga teacher, and love playing in nature. In a continual process of traveling, exploring, hiking, climbing, and eating my way around the world. 

I started practicing yoga in 2014 while living/working in Ethiopia. It provided a way to relieve the stress that came with working and living in a foreign land. It gave me the confidence to be myself and interact with people on a human-to-human level. In 2018, I became certified with a  RYT 200 from Dharamshala, India. My yoga practice and teaching is a way to communicate with yourself to understand the connection of us all. 

In my Yin class we come together in community to tap into the energy of breath as a vehicle that moves us into our bodies. The long hold times and stagnant poses allow for a deeper meditative practice where we can communicate with our unveiled selves. My goal is to build each student a support (through props and guidance) that they can release into, to experience their own journey. The class is open to first-timers and advanced students alike. Feel free to stop in and say hi if you have any questions.

shawna dowd ~ she/her

dwell collective teacher

I am an intuitive feeler, seeker, massage therapist and yoga instructor. A free-spirited soul, I love to travel and spend time in nature, embracing authentic experience and energetic connections.

My first exposure to yoga was as a teenager living in California and later I returned to the practice in college. Yoga offered me a safe space to show up for myself, to nurture my neglected mind, body and spirit. In 2010 I enrolled in a 200 hour teacher training through my local community college as a way to deepen my practice. With an emphasis on structural alignment, this training nurtured my fascination for movement and the human body. Since then yoga has been an essential part of my life. It has helped me cope with my anxiety and has inspired me to explore and share various forms of movement and energy work over the years. From flow arts and acro yoga to meditation, breathwork and eventually massage therapy, yoga has been the foundation. In 2020 I completed another 200 hour yoga teacher training through DDY with an emphasis on optimal movement and trauma informed yoga.

Yoga invites people to slow down and listen to their body’s own innate wisdom. I believe this is where healing starts. As a yoga instructor my teachings focus on nurturing the relationship between mind and body through exploratory movement, stillness and breath. I strive to offer classes that are inclusive and accessible, so that every body may benefit from a sustainable yoga practice that will help them move through life with more balance and ease.

STEPHANIE PRECIADO-SHELTON ~ SHE/HER
DWELL COLLECTIVE TEACHER

Through multiple modalities, I am a creator of connection. Yoga, teaching, and making things with my hands have allowed me to build relationships within my community in meaningful ways. I hold space that’s inclusive of all bodies and abilities, while helping folks connect with their body and spirit’s light one breath at a time. 

I am a visual artist/maker, collector, yogi, gardener, dreamer, traveler, teacher, wife and dog and cat mom. I am inspired by the beauty of the Las Cruces desert landscape and the rich cultures that prevail here. I enjoy bridging my inspirations through my art making in jewelry design, drawing, painting and printmaking. I co-own a screen printing company, Reviver Printing, with my husband Chris. It’s been a blast sharing our art and process with folks near and far. 

I have been teaching yoga for two and a half years and I have been practicing on and off for fifteen years. I received my 200 RYT certification from Paraiso Yoga in Sayulita, Mexico, summer 2019. I continued my training with Downtown Desert Yoga in Las Cruces, NM, spring/summer 2020 where I focused on fine tuning my practice in Hatha, Vinyasa flow, and Yin. Yoga is more than the asana or physical practice for me. The creation of embodied movement through yoga and other artistic outlets is the space where I connect freely. I am fascinated with the metaphysical aspect of yoga, which led me to complete a certification in Kundalini Fusion yoga. I love to invite intuitive, creative movement into my classes to inspire self-expression and divine connection.
