“Sherry invites us to step out of our hectic, buzzing lives into her world: which means transitioning into having fun, finding our muse, creating space in our bodies, and feeling safety and healing all around us. Her ability to not only motivate a group, connect us to our bodies, and feel a special sisterhood with those around you is hard to replicate these days – Sherry does it with a secondhand ease and comfort. She’s hard to replicate.”  ~Anne-Marie Eddy, Big Sky Tents

You feel like you’re family when you’re with her, and yet the professional is always there beneath taking care of what needs to get done on time and with a huge heart. I look forward to many years of collaboration with Sherry and FLY Yoga to come.”

“Sherry Sidoti weaves the spirit into yoga and fitness classes that are already so complete with groovy music, contagious energy and calculated movement. Sherry insists that our own experience in each moment be about much more than just moving. She encourages her flock to consider that our minds and bodies, which we already know to be inextricably linked, can both blossom by carefully crafting a healthy and free spirit. She offers this simple reminder in each class she teaches with fresh, innovative and inspiring guidance. Along the way your body strengthens and your mind learns to let go. “

“Sherry’s classes are the perfect blend of mind, body and spirit. Her soulful music choices take the class beyond the ordinary. Whether it is yoga or FLYfusion Sherry is consistently excellent. I love her classes.”  ~Scarlet Jarrell, Yoga Teacher

“Above all, Sherry teaches you to love and accept your body, no matter how it looks or what it is going through at that particular moment. Her class literally ‘kicks butt’, but she encourages us to “turn inwards” using uplifting words and adds her personal thoughts, to put all the striving for outer perfection back into perspective again. You will leave class, possibly with some sore muscles, but always energized and with an uplifted spirit. Sherry shows a sincere interest in all her students, young, old, new or advanced. The interaction during class is unique. She will ask for feedback and throw in some spontaneous dancing when she feels we need a little boost. She will make us laugh when we’re all taking ourselves too seriously.  She’ll share a personal story when we need distraction.  She always expresses gratefulness for being able to teach us. Oh, and did I mention that her music mixes ROCK?”  ~Jessica Hall, Marketing

“I spent all last weekend with my two grandchildren, ages two and four. Not once did I feel tired or achy. I attribute this to the work I have done with Sherry. In my 64 years, never have I felt stronger or more confident in myself. “  ~Susan Steps, Retired Teacher

“When I started working with Sherry, I thought I’d always live with pain. Sherry worked specifically with me to grow stronger where I was weak and loosen up those tight areas that caused me back and shoulder pain. As the back pain started to ease, so did my negative approach to my own life. Now I live with a sense that with the right guidance and attitude, I can live a healthier life and be happier. I can’t wait to go back to the Vineyard this summer and work with her again!”  ~Merle Goldstein, Avid Tennis Player and Retiree

“After my son was born a year ago, I had a difficult time feeling like I could get back into my body. Since doing her core classes, I have felt stronger, more balanced, healthier, centered, and my core feels stronger. “  ~Cathleen Vincent, Acupuncturist

“All of Sherry’s workouts are so varied and challenging that they are never boring or predictable. They push you beyond the point you would ever take yourself on your own and in a fun way to the absolute coolest music. No muscle is ever left behind. Sherry is also unique in that she puts her heart, soul and spirit into every class and session she teaches. She has become not only a mentor, but a true inspiration and friend. Working out with Sherry is a privilege and most certainly always a high point in my day. If I could, I would train with her every day.”
~Jennifer Marcus, Mother, Attorney
