Yoga with Kerry

Fall 2020 Yoga for Peace Newsletter!

August 21, 2020

Welcome back Yogi’s!

 

I am excited to announce that Yoga for Peace will be returning in September!

 

Yoga with Kerry classes are going to look a little different with the Covid-19 protocols in place, but hopefully we can work together and support each other as we bring our yoga community back together again, safely! 

 

Another exciting change involves a new location. 

Due to the KP Hall being for sale, I had to find a new location. We are now going to be practicing at the Warfield Hall!!

The hall has been recently renovated and offers a nice, clean, large open space, with clean spacious bathrooms and hallway entrance to hang our coats. Perhaps the best feature of the Warfield Hall is that it is entry level and there are no stairs! Plus, parking will be a little easier then downtown Trail! 

 

I hope you are as excited as I am to get back to Yoga classes again! 

 

Here are the details of the upcoming sessions: 

 

Yoga for Peace  Mondays    6:45-8pm 

Yoga for Peace is a mindful Yoga class series designed to help reduce stress and anxiety and calm the nervous system while raising self-awareness and developing healthy skills for managing stress. You can expect a safe and accepting space dedicated to providing you with an opportunity to practice therapeutic yoga skills while experiencing mindfulness and deep relaxation. Each class will include mindfulness through movement (Somatics, Joint Freeing Series, Yoga postures), breathwork, meditation, and relaxation (body scan). Yoga therapy and mindfulness theory will be interwoven into each practice and throughout the series.

Winter Yoga for Peace

January 2, 2020

Happy New Year, 2020!
As I reflect on my slow return to teaching yoga after my head injury, I only feel immense gratitude to you, my students that have patiently waited and embraced me in your support during this difficult transition. 

Recovering from a head injury has been nothing like any other recovery I have experienced. It is almost indescribable... one part grief and frustration at the loss of functioning, and one part in awe of the power of the brain’s capacity for change and adaptabil...

Are you feeling apprehensive or excited for Yoga in the Park?

June 21, 2019

Feeling apprehensive or excited about practicing Yoga outdoors?

 

Going to a yoga class is hard enough as it inherently moves us to a place of vulnerability. 

We are pushed physically by moving our bodies in unique (sometimes intimidating) ways, stretching, strengthening, balancing, and coordinating alignment cues. 

We challenge ourselves mentally by trying to focus, concentrate, and letting go of extraneous mental busyness. We challenge ourselves emotionally by facing our fears, including our fe...
