Weekly Gentle Yoga
Balance strength, mobility, and rest
This embodied mindfulness practice offers a variety of feel-good floor poses as well as active standing poses in both dynamic and static applications. Explore familiar and novel balance poses, learn the benefits of subtle breathing, and cultivate space for stillness, quiet, and deep rest.
While this class is beneficial for those with restrictions or injuries, gentle yoga is not just a second choice when active practice isn’t possible. Instead, this class suggests entirely different goals and intentions. Instead of an always-on or always-off practice, explore the beauty of something in the middle.
No previous yoga or meditation experience is necessary.

Breath 101: simple self-regulating techniques for your real life
Virtual 3-week workshop
Wednesdays: May 31, June 7, and June 14 from 8-9pm CT
Recording available for those who can't attend live
The average person takes about 20,000 breaths per day, the vast majority of which are unconscious. Scientific studies have repeatedly shown that making conscious changes to how you breathe can have profound effects on your health and wellbeing. But maybe you don't know where to start or you're feeling too busy and overwhelmed to add one more health to-do to your day.
The good news is, it doesn't take long to positively impact your nervous system with breath practice, and you'll likely feel the benefits right away. Yoga breathing techniques, or pranayama, offer so many wonderful tools for self-regulation. The key is knowing which practices to do for what purposes (hint: you don't always need a calming breath). You'll also want to know quick and easy ways to incorporate these techniques into your everyday life. It's not hard, but it only works if you do it!
In this virtual 3-week workshop, you'll get an introduction to the science of breath as well as step-by-step guidance for how to practice the techniques so they work for you. Each class will incorporate some gentle yoga poses and a brief practice of accessible breath techniques. There will be plenty of time for addressing your questions, and Kerry will offer tips for when, how, and why to bring pranayama into your everyday life. You'll be amazed at the impact on your body, mind, and energy levels.
No previous pranayama experience necessary. Some previous yoga experience recommended. Come in comfortable clothing, have a yoga mat and any props if possible, or just come as you are and we'll make it work with whatever you have on hand!
This workshop is virtual. Join from the comfort of your own home! A recording will be available for those who can't attend live.
Gentle Yoga + Sound Bath
Experience the magic of sound meditation from the comfort of your own home!
Enjoy the beauty of a balanced yoga practice that leads you into a deep relaxation and sound meditation. Class will begin with a gentle yoga sequence that combines energizing active poses with quieting restorative poses. Modifications will be offered and you will be empowered to find what feels good as you reconnect with and nurture your body.
Then you'll settle into a comfortable relaxation pose as you bathe in the sounds of Himalayan singing bowls and other soothing instruments that will transport you into a meditative state of relaxation.
No previous experience is necessary, appropriate for all. Wear comfortable clothing, gather some blankets and pillows and any other favorite home yoga props.


Intentional 2024
Virtual workshop
January 2024 date TBD: 9am - 12pm CT / 8am - 11am MT
Recording available for those who can't attend live
Yoga + Intentions = Change
Forget resolutions. They’re often overly idealistic, and fueled by shame, and studies have found that less than 10% of people actually stick to them. Instead, carve out a few hours at the start of 2024 to experience an embodied, connected, and creative state that clarifies where you’d like to focus your energy over the next year from a personal, professional, and/or creative perspective.
In this two-part virtual workshop, Kerry will guide you through the simple, efficient, and effective process she has developed as an annual New Year’s ritual. Create a 3-part intention to focus your year and promote growth over the long term.
Here’s what's included:
3-hour Virtual workshop in January (recording available to those who can't attend live) – The workshop will begin with a 60-minute practice of gentle yoga, meditation, and pranayama to help you feel more connected and embodied, concluding with yoga nidra, promoting a hypnagogic state, the drowsy feeling between wakefulness and sleep. Recent studies have linked the hypnagogic state to increased creativity and problem-solving, which will set the stage for greater open-heartedness and creativity for the second part of the workshop. In the second half, you will be guided through several reflection questions to help prompt your 3-part intention for 2024. Kerry will be available for personalized support throughout the process.
Monthly email encouragements – Intentions can’t come to fruition if you don't revisit them. To support your commitment to your intentions, you will receive a short, inspiring email each month to remind you to check in and stay on track.
2-hour Virtual mid-year check-in (date to be scheduled among the group and recording will be provided for those who can't attend live) - this supportive check-in will be a chance to reflect on your progress towards your three intentions. Kerry will offer tips on staying inspired and will lead a gentle yoga practice. Accountability works!
