Book your wellness adventure today!
Hi! My name is Kerry and I have been a student of yoga for 23 years and teaching for more than 10! I have studied and taught several lineages throughout the years, including:
Power Yoga
Dharma Mitra
Anusara
Shivananda
Kundalini
Restorative
Jivamukti
Iyengar
Vinyasa
Hatha
Yin
I have been submerged in the wellness field and healing arts for over 15years. A combination of surviving a traumatic childhood & sudden chronic illness led me on a journey towards self-healing and empowerment. Yonah Mountain Yoga & Wellness Adventures is the result of that process.
I was a very sensitive to energy as a child and often felt like a misfit, wondering how & where I fit in. Aways a deep feeler with a strong sense of “knowing,” I was told by many in my young adult years that I had extra sensory abilities and that’s when life began to make a bit more sense.
It was no accident that the illness was a huge catalyst in bridging the gap between my childhood experiences and the reality of how far off my path I had ventured. I was essentially forced to slow down, pivot and re-direct my focus and life choices. Our bodies are so intelligent and our higher selves our always working in our favor. The “illness” was in essence a guidepost, leading me down a different path and showing me a new way forward.
I have since explored both spiritual and clinical avenues to healing and what I have come to realize is that healing is in the LIVING. See my Blog post, “Healing in the Wild”.
I ‘ve obtained multiple certifications thoroughout this process, in a persistent pursuit for wisdom, including:
200RYT (Hatha)
Aerial Yoga
Trauma Sensitive Yoga
Chinese Medicine for Yoga
Nurtured Heart Approach
Mental Health First Aid
Wilderness First Aid
Elementary Education
Health & Wellness Practitioner
Peer Recovery Coach
SMART Recovery Facilitator
Mental Health Professional (Pursuing a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling)
I created a Youtube video underlying some of the traumatic events that brought me here, if your interest is piqued:

I am so grateful to have you visit and look forward to adventuring with you!
