      Keri

Is out on maternity leave. Happy baby!!! 
After being introduced to yoga in her early teens, Keri began teaching Ashtanga Yoga in 2002.  She later trained with Shiva Rae, and incorporated Svroopa Yoga into her teaching schedule. Keri attained her Associates degree in Massage Therapy & Integrated Health Care and is a recognized Licensed Massage therapist.nbsp; Keri traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah to study Aromatherapy & became a Essential Oils Educator through Young Living. In 2005 she completed her 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Kripalu Yoga Center in Lenox, Massachusetts and is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT). 

Kripalu Yoga is a modern school of Yoga that reflects a synthesis of Traditional approaches. The key to the practice of Kripalu Yoga lies in understanding Prana or Breath as a link between body, mind, & spirit. Kripalu Yoga is rooted in stillness, Yoga postures, combined with breathing techniques and a focused yet compassionate attitude during practice, are used  as vehicles for finding and releasing energy blocks. Paradoxically, when you intentionally put your body into Yoga postures you frequently produce more tension than before. Kripalu Yoga will help you to identify these tensions & teach you to release them. Let go....let go....let go!

Kripalu Yoga ~ Incorporates the five aspects of Yoga into one. (Hatha, Raja, Kundalini, Bhakti and Karma) Each class will begin with seated meditation, followed by breathe work, Asana's & of course followed by Shavasana (relaxation) Variations will be shown, making this class enjoyable for everyone.

Pilates ~ Pilates strengthen the muscles that support the spine (neck, shoulders, abs, hips & thighs) to bring balance into the body.
Pilates helps to realign the spine in order to decrease tension, increase flexibility & strengthen the body from the inside out.
