Yoga teacher & Transformatrix.

Cherryl Duncan is a yoga teacher, transformational coach, and retreat facilitator whose work bridges psychology, the wisdom of the body, and ancient spiritual traditions.

She holds a qualification in Marketing, specialising in Strategic Brand Management, and built her early career shaping identity for luxury automotive and high fashion accounts at globally acclaimed advertising agencies — before walking away from it all to study at a Sivananda ashram in India. She later opened her own yoga studio and earned her 800-hour Advanced Certified board qualification in Jivamukti Yoga in New York — one of the most rigorous credentials in the field.

Her training spans Tibetan Buddhism (University of Arizona), Energetic Taoist practices including Qi Gong under Master Shifu Michael Lan, Tibetan Heart Yoga, and classical Hatha. She was mentored in Jungian and Freudian psychology by clinical psychologist Phillip Cohen over a period of 20 years. In Brazil, she was initiated into the Afro-Brazilian traditions of Umbanda and Candomblé — and has continued to seek out master teachers and healers across continents, undergoing private guided shamanic journeys as part of her ongoing study of consciousness and the unseen.

Cherryl has designed and led retreats, teacher trainings, and coaching programs internationally, training over a hundred yoga teachers and coaches who now lead their own practices. She has delivered workshops and talks for entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, and corporate teams — bringing embodiment and self mastery into spaces that don't usually make room for it. Her work has been featured in Yoga Journal, Elephant Journal, and Donna magazine, and she was most recently on the cover of Yoga Journal Germany.

Her work in embodiment, self mastery, and personal development is built for people who are past surface-level wellness and looking for something that actually changes them.

Cherryl lives in Munich, and when she's not traveling or teaching, you'll find her at the Tegernsee with her dog, Maxi — where she also keeps a home
