Kerri Kelly & Suzanne Sterling
Kerri Kelly
Kerri was drawn to the grace and compassion of yoga in 1999 after suffering many physical injuries from a lifetime of sports and exercise. Since then, Kerri’s personal and professional practice has evolved to embrace yoga as a method of self-regulation and transformation. Kerri has been teaching yoga for six years and continues to explore many styles of yoga to ensure creativity and balance in her classes. She has been greatly influenced and inspired by teachers such as Janet Stone, Seane Corn, Desiree Rumbaugh, Ana Forrest, Max Strom and Rusty Wells.
Kerri’s classes are known to be challenging but playful, as she strives to help her students develop a strong body, a content mind, and a healthy spirit. She has developed a Yoga for Runners program and teaches cross-training workshops throughout the Bay Area. She is an active ambassador for Off the Mat, Into the World, the official not-for-profit partner of Wanderlust, and facilitates leadership programs about yoga and activism.
