Welcoming Sheri Vogel as the New Project Yoga Board Chair
Sheri is deeply passionate about supporting and building leaders of mission-driven organizations. With a rich leadership background in the healthcare and social service non-profit sector, she has dedicated her encore career to helping non-profit leaders achieve their potential and passion.
As a Certified Executive Coach with over 15 years of experience, Sheri has been a coach, mentor, trainer, and consultant for the Greater Cincinnati non-profit community.
She has recently become the Board Chair for Project Yoga, where her deep understanding of the healing and strength-building benefits of yoga aligns perfectly with the organization’s mission. Her role as Chair allows her to bring her skills and expertise to support a hard-working board, dedicated volunteers, and passionate executive director in bringing the powerful gifts of mindfulness, breath work, and movement to those in need.
In addition to her role at Project Yoga, Sheri is the Talent Management Advisor for The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati. In this position, she leads efforts to develop the next generation of leaders through professional and leadership development, onboarding, training, mentoring, and coaching for the area’s Jewish professionals. She also volunteers as a consultant, trainer, facilitator, and coach for OneSource and the Leadership Council.
Sheri’s extensive background includes three decades in Los Angeles as a non-profit and healthcare executive, where she led organizations, teams, business operations, project and program management, quality improvement, and strategic planning efforts. She also worked for The Health Collaborative as a Special Projects and Quality Director, leading national and community-wide initiatives impacting healthcare providers and patients.
Sheri holds a degree in Psychology from UC Santa Barbara, an Executive Management Certificate in Health Care from the University of Southern California and has completed continuing education and master’s level courses in Business, Quality Improvement, and Organizational Psychology at USC, Pepperdine University, and the Institute for Health Improvement.
In her free time, Sheri enjoys yoga, ceramics, baking, and exploring the arts. She resides outside of Cincinnati on 5 acres of woods, close enough to the airport to visit her family, which includes a bunch of children and grandchildren in four different states.
Over 50,000 individuals in Greater Cincinnati have learned the practice of yoga and mindfulness from Project Yoga.
Week in and week out, our certified instructors show up in schools, shelters, and community centers with practices that build strength, peace, and resilience.
Empowerment through movement and mindfulness.
Every Project Yoga class offers tools for resilience, regulation, and healing. In a safe, supportive space, children learn to calm their minds, strengthen their bodies, and express emotions in healthy ways. Through breath, movement, and mindfulness, we help young people build confidence, restore balance, and feel empowered in their own skin.
“The people we serve each have a story. We’re not there to add to their stories. We’re there to teach the practices of yoga and mindfulness expertly. And we’ll be back— week in, week out.”
