ABOUT THESE CLASSES:

Therapeutic Yoga offers gentle yet powerful breath, movement and mindfulness practices that support the body’s natural ability to heal. While therapeutic yoga can be tailored for specific health conditions, these classes offer a general introduction to foundational practices designed to support you whether you're navigating a specific challenge and seeking physical relief, emotional support, or simply looking to enhance your overall well-being. You can expect an uplifting and supportive environment in which to explore and discover practices that serve your unique needs.

All of Kerri's classes are trauma-informed. This means that everything is offered as an invitation and choice for you to explore and you can always choose to opt-out of any given practice. You are encouraged to practice with compassion and respect for your unique experience. There is no "right" way to practice - your comfort and sense of safety are top priority. Through this approach, we honor the healing power of yoga while ensuring that every participant feels supported and empowered.

Kerri's approach focuses on balancing prana (life force energy) through the myofascial and nervous systems, with particular attention to the vagus nerve as the main regulator of the “rest and restore” function of our autonomic nervous system. Our nervous system is embedded in the connective tissue fabric of our myofascial system. Together these two systems serve as the main communication network between our brain, our muscles and our organs. By engaging both systems through mindful breath and movement, we cultivate nervous system resilience and support physical health and emotional well-being. No prior yoga experience necessary, just an openness to explore and support your body in a way that feels right for you.

Therapeutic Yoga is particularly beneficial for:

• Those experiencing physical challenges such as chronic pain, inflammation, mobility restrictions, or injury recovery.

• Those navigating emotional healing from stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or burnout.

• Anyone feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted and seeking a practice to restore balance.

• Anyone interested in nervous system support and learning tools to shift from a state of tension to ease.

• Anyone who desires a safe, nurturing space to explore movement and self-care without pressure or expectation.
