For more than 18 years, Cheryl Slader wore the makeup, the heels and the glamour of a Las Vegas showgirl, performing in venues that are a part of the Las Vegas mystique, from "Enter the Night" at the Stardust, to "Jubilee!" and the "Folies Bergere."

But in her present incarnation as a teacher of yoga and owner of the Blue Sky Yoga inside the Arts Factory at 103 E. Charleston Blvd., Slader has traded in showgirl mystique for the more mystical experience of bringing affordable yoga to her students.
