Hi, I’m Keri! Through simple practices, mindful tips, and insights from the mat, I hope to inspire others to find balance, peace, and presence in their own lives. Let's flow into stillness together.
Yoga is a holistic practice that combines physical postures, controlled breathing, and mindfulness to foster balance in the mind, body, and spirit. Originating in ancient India, yoga is widely practiced for its physical benefits, like flexibility and strength, as well as its mental benefits, such as reduced stress and increased focus.
Moving meditation is a mindfulness practice that involves performing gentle, flowing movements while maintaining focused attention and breath awareness. It allows individuals to center their mind through movement, fostering relaxation, presence, and a deeper connection to their body. Yoga, tai chi, and mindful walking are examples of moving meditation practices.
Through mindful movement and deep breathing, yoga activates the body’s relaxation response helping to decrease stress levels and calm the mind.
Regular yoga practice gently stretches muscles and improves joint mobility, making it easier to move comfortably through everyday activities and reduce injuries.
Yoga poses engage multiple muscle groups, building core strength and overall stability. This strength improves posture, body alignment, and coordination, helping with balance both physically and mentally.
Yoga encourages present-moment awareness, improving mental clarity and focus which can enhance productivity, reduce distractions, and promote clearer decision-making.
Yoga helps improve circulation, regulate blood pressure, and support heart health.
Yoga helps reduce insomnia by lowering stress hormones and promoting relaxation through certain poses and breathing exercises.
