Audacity to Rest with Cherie

In a world driven by Grind Culture, the Audacity to Rest (A2R) container offers an invitation to slow down and turn inward. Through the A2R formula—intentional pause • root-in • rest • reflect—you reconnect with the inner wisdom that affirms your innate right to rest and renew. This practice becomes a grounding rhythm—a way to reset, restore, and meet each moment with calm, clarity, and care whenever it calls.

Cherie takes a wellness-centered approach to her work as a creator and educator, with a deep commitment to expanding access to transformative self-care. As the founder of roots HOME + BODY and Audacity to Rest, and co-collaborator of a Riverside, California-based wellness collective, she blends her expertise in yoga, mindfulness, movement, and rest practices to cultivate healing spaces that are both intentional and accessible.

Cherie’s approach bridges movement, spirituality, and wellness. She has led rest-centered programs for diverse communities, guided by a simple mission: Be Well! Her work helps people move, heal, and connect in ways that feel real, joyful, and deeply nourishing.

One of her signature offerings, Moody Mondays, is a restorative yoga experience that blends music, movement, and community into a soulful self-care ritual designed to uplift and inspire.

Through her work, Cherie promotes health and well-being by empowering individuals and communities to embrace healthier behaviors, lifestyles, and environments.
