Ep. 6 Movement as Medicine: Cheyenne Merlo on Motherhood, Burnout, and the Evolving Self

In this nourishing episode of Voices of Nectar, Andrea Clark sits down with Cheyenne Merlo—yoga teacher, mother, and retreat guide to explore how movement, mindfulness, and motherhood have shaped her path of self-discovery.

Cheyenne shares how burnout in her early twenties led her from children’s fitness into the world of yoga, and how motherhood transformed her practice into something more playful, intuitive, and grounded in presence.

They speak about the gifts and challenges of tiny home living, the power of curiosity and wonder as tools for personal growth, and the ongoing evolution of identity. Cheyenne also offers insight into her current practices and gives a glimpse into her upcoming retreats and online platform.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that movement is not just physical—it’s a way of listening, evolving, and returning to what matters most.
