Kerry is certified in Dharma Yoga (Austin, TX), a style that emphasizes the meditative aspect of practice. She has also studied Ashtanga, Iyengar and Yin Yoga. Kerry's teaching style stresses functional alignment, which allows each student to feel the internal forms of poses. Awareness in each posture tends to encourage more spacious movement and breath patterns. From this perspective, alignment is not the seeking of perfection, but rather a tool that facilitates increasing awareness of oneself. She draws inspiration from Yogic and Buddhist philosophy, yet resonates most directly with the sciences of Psychology, Neuroscience and Evolutionary Theory (particulary the work of Steven Pinker, Oliver Sacks and Richard Dawkins). She seeks a rational, non-mystical approach to this ancient practice.

She draws on her years of training with Denise, Karin Stephan and Val Spies to guide her students through the flow and philosophy of yoga.
