About Live Today Yoga

---

Hi! My name is Kerri and I went to my first yoga class after having what 

I then called a "bad back" after having back labor in 2006. I ended up taking my first teacher training a few years later with a mentor instructor who suggested I should teach. At the time, I wasn't interested in teaching, however I wanted to learn more about the practice.  After this training I had to teach a few free classes to get certified.  The fear was gone and I started teaching regularly from there.  As my practice carries on it's been life changing especially after my trauma certification.  I didn't realize how much we hold in our bodies and how resilient we really are.  So nowadays, I try not to use the term "bad back" knowing that it can show up in more ways than I even understand.  I am grateful for how much this practice has opened up to me and taught me and I am eager to share with anyone who will listen and perhaps practice along with me!  Since that first certification I have trained in Prenatal, Seniors, Chair yoga, Somatic movement, Meditation and Mindfulness, Breathwork (pranayama), Ayurveda, Balancing the parasympathetic nervous system, Trauma Informed, and more.  I currently have an ERYT-500, YACEP which is a fancy way to say i taught over 1000 yoga classes and have more than 500 hours in book/case studies. Quoting my brother (as I am continuing along this life- long student path), "You're going to another training, how many yoga poses are there?!"  What we learn continues to be far beyond the poses!
