Sherianna Boyle

Sherianna Boyle is a yoga teacher, author and coach whose work centres on processing emotions as a doorway to intuition and spiritual connection. Trained in education and school psychology, she has taught psychology and mindfulness as an adjunct professor for many years, and she also holds certifications in yoga, breathwork, meditation and Reiki. Out of that mix she developed the Cleanse Method, a seven-step practice for meeting feelings in the body rather than thinking them through, which she set out in her book Emotional Detox and several follow-up titles. More recently her writing has turned towards guidance from spirit: Just Ask Spirit describes a practice for clearing emotional static so that messages from guides and the higher self come through more easily.

She teaches mainly online. Twice a week she leads Cleanse Yoga on Zoom, a gentle class combining twists, breathing and self-massage with a ball, and she offers a self-paced certification for yoga teachers who want to bring the method into their own classes. Other offerings include a higher-self masterclass, seasonal online gatherings that pair emotional release with astrology and intention setting, and one-to-one sessions by phone or video. She hosts a weekly podcast with authors and teachers, and leads weekend programmes at Kripalu.
