Cheemah, Mother of the Spirit-Fire
At Cheemah Yoga Studio, our name carries deep meaning. Inspired by Cheemah, Mother of the Spirit-Fire—a symbol of life, unity, and renewal—we honor the light within every being.
Cheemah reminds us that the spirit of the Earth lives in each of us, and that our shared fire connects all people, beyond heritage or belief.
Here on the shores of Pameacha Pond, we carry that torch of hope, healing, and peace—guiding every class, meditation, and practice toward restoring balance within ourselves and with our planet.
