100 % attention, 100 % intention. 

Keri was intrigued by physical therapy since being a tween. A competitive gymnast and dancer, she endured many injuries that PT’s helped her through. The hook for her at that age was this thought “Doctors take your blood, or take x-rays to figure out what’s wrong you, but THIS guy knows what’s wrong just by asking me questions!”

She established her own therapy practice 19 years ago on the principle that education leads to transformation, and she’s been asking questions ever since. Keri believes strongly that educating her clients on how and why they have pain makes all the difference, that understanding “the why” compels people to do things differently. Her primary goal is to foster autonomy-the understanding and the tools to be able to take very good care of yourself.

Keri provides personalized programs, postural awareness, as well as movement pattern recognition and retraining to develop y0ur ability to optimize your function and to decrease your pain. Rather than a myopic view of your pain and its location, she takes a whole human approach, recognizing that our history, life experiences, stressors and fears all play into our bodies’ pain responses. Keri helps us remember that these are things we have the power to change.

yoga

 

Simple, not easy.

 

“I initially fell in love with the physical practice of yoga as a natural adjunct to my extensive study of the body in Physical Therapy school. Since then, I have sought many master teachers who, along with dear friends and deep inquiry, have helped me to access my heart, inner strength and softness. I have been teaching since 2007, hoping to share some of the tremendous gifts I have experienced.

My priority in teaching yoga asana, remembering of course that the physical postures are merely one component of this vast lifestyle and spiritual practice, is to encourage engagement. Engagement to sustain the integrity of the posture, to actively support yourself against gravity, to create space between your joints instead of collapsing into them, and absolutely to build strength. But far deeper than that, I truly feel that this strong physical engagement trickles inward to harness our attention and engage our intention. For me, the physical engagement is the gateway to a deeper connection within mySelf and within my day to day life. This chaotic world that we live in and interact with every day demands that we build strength and fortitude and pliability to stand tall in the face of injustice, and to adapt to our ever changing environment. We are not ascetics and therefore cannot simply escape into our devices or into ourselves with no regard for the greater community. We need the strength and steadiness our practice fosters to bring yoga off the mat and into our small corners of the world.

So if and when it fits into your life, yoga is still there. Always ready to welcome you as you are. Always available for us to try again.”

With love,

Keri
