I’m Cher Meli—a master yoga instructor, mentor, and wellness event curator & coordinator with a lifetime of experience rooted in soul, structure, and sacred intention.

My path was never conventional. I was raised by women who knew how to move both energy and rooms. My grandmother was a Kahuna, a spiritual healer and wisdom keeper who also owned restaurants—and who could regularly be found dancing the night away at Studio 54, where my aunts worked in promotions and my Uncle Marc manned the velvet rope. I, barely old enough to stay awake, slept beneath Steve Rubell’s desk, unknowingly absorbing the language of experience, curation, and presence.

That inheritance shaped me. My early career led me through A-list hospitality and nightlife in New York and Los Angeles—coordinating everything from movie premieres and fashion week afterparties to luxury activations and VIP experiences. But while I knew how to oversee an unforgettable, star-studded night (decked out in Tom Ford-era Gucci, of course), I craved something deeper.

Over the past 25+ years, I’ve been steeped in Classical Yoga and wisdom traditions, including Buddhism and Eastern philosophy. I hold the title of Acharya—a master teacher in the yogic lineage—and have guided hundreds of students through teacher trainings, advanced intensives, and mentorships. I’ve built out dozens of personal and spiritual development programs, designed every facet of online courses—from curriculum to copy to funnels—and held space for deep soul work. You can even find my voice on leading meditation apps, guiding thousands into stillness.

I parlayed from teaching upward of 20 yoga classes per week—hustling across studios and time zones—into building an extensive archive of luxe wellness events, online courses, retreats, workshops, and high-touch client experiences. That evolution is what now makes me the go-to for wellness professionals ready to rise, and the one you want overseeing your logistics-heavy, emotionally resonant retreat or conference.

Whether you want to learn how to do it yourself—or have me run the show for you—I bring vision, clarity, and a wealth of experience to the table.

I’m also the founder of Midlife Mastery™, a transformational event series and coaching framework helping women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond reclaim their power, voice, and vitality—through community, clarity, and conscious design.

This isn’t just what I do. It’s legacy work—built on generations of wisdom, decades of experience, and a lifetime of devotion.
