Sarah Cheiky
Nationally Licensed Massage Therapist & Continuing Education Provider Metta Bodywork, llc. "Teaching others 'Getting to the Heart of the Matter'
within the anatomical tissues and structure, has been my favorite past time. Thank you for your trust and allowing me the opportunity to share space, education and part of evolutions with you. " |
“We each have the choice, will and option to acknowledge where we are everyday to make real changes, when we accept and en-lighten our own personal, universal truths and paths.
It takes hard work and dedication to our practices with many new layers of mindful attention. That pay in the course, in the acts of being and doing. We benefit most when we are willing to expand our conscious awareness, understand that absolutely everything put forth or received, affects every universal aspect, inside and out; be it body, energy, or citta (mind-heart). Some how, some way, be it little or big. Live within the full truth of the discovery, that is specific to an individual reality and has been presented for us to live out fully. We can learn to be our own best attendant. Learn to live and be well.” ~ Sarah Cheiky, Life Student |

Back Story: The Studio Cleveland Wellness and Arts Center
The Studio Cleveland currently sits in the heart of Downtown on the East bank of the Flats in the Historic Warehouse District.
The energy of the former industrial space now stimulates diverse programs in yoga, meditation, Thai massage and energy modalities, concerts and empowering workshops.
Students and visitors continue to enjoy The Studio’s tranquil environments, including two wooden floor yoga rooms, an infrared sauna, a Thai Massage room and two rooms reserved for massage, energy work and sound therapy. Showers and changing rooms are also available. Throughout the site, northeast Ohio artists display and sell their creative output.
At the time, owner and director Sarah Cheiky, LMT, NCTMB opened The Studio Cleveland welcoming corporate, individual, and family communities and being the first donation based yoga studio established in Cleveland, Ohio, rightfully paving the way to more community classes city wide over the following years with Cleveland's First Donation Based Studio in Downtown CLE.***
In the summer of 2018, Sarah developed a business with enough integrity, base and brand to transfer on ownership and directive taking place on September 1, 2018. Very much a blessing creating a platform that will not only continue but also with Sarah in it, taking part in practice.'

The Mission of The Studio Cleveland
Dedicated to providing a uniquely cultivated space and platform for experiences to our Cleveland community of individuals to transform their awareness and raise consciousness of the self through healing body and energy work, yoga, meditation, music, food, workshops and wellness programs.
We dedicate ourselves to community growth, offering one of northeast Ohio's first continuing education schools for Thai massage and Reiki energy work. The Studio also supports arts and literature programs and efforts to aid neighbors who are homeless, hungry or in need. Our deepest wish is to bring an introduction to whole life information to the beings that present themselves at our door with a feeling of openness . Thanks to you for your dedication and interest.
***First Donation Based Studio in Cleveland***
All of our yoga and meditation classes are offered by asking no fixed amount of money. Offering our classes on a donation basis allows for a conscious system of commerce. Through this system each student is allowed to give something in return for access to the service but no barrier to practice.
We recognize that this can seem hard to understand or decide, so our instructors offer suggested donation rates for their time and education, that are generally less than most yoga studios charge per class, keeping our mission of making yoga accessible and affordable true.
Give us what you can afford or what’s available in your heart; making a minimum donation does not reflect what is in everyone's heart, that is truly reflected in your earnest want to be in your practice. ***
