While advances in technology continue to help make our lives more efficient, we are also becoming increasingly distracted by our devices, and living in the present moment has become more challenging than ever...
When I began doing intuitive readings for people, I noticed many of them were also suffering as a result of not opening to a relationship with intuition. Seeing them deny themselves the help, like I had, really broke my heart. And most of my readings ended with my teaching intuitive tools instead. It became pretty clear that I had to spread the word, so I began writing a book and holding workshops...

Yogis, we all know about the healing power of sound. We channel vibration with our ohms at the beginning and end of class, we look to the power of the harmonium and sitar to evoke the bhakti during chanting, and most of us enjoy a sound track during our flows...

Two hours passed by in what felt like one large inhale. Then Wah! walked around and distributed flower petals as a physical reminder of the sacred experience from which we had all returned. The evening left a deep imprint on my soul. It’s a memory I tapped into when the heightened emotions of the holidays became too much. It is a well of healing from which I continue to draw...

I have seen several yoga classes/workshops using the word radical for their descriptions and even the theme of this past Burning Man was Radical Ritual. I feel like the word radical is overused and watered down. Kerri’s Radical Healing workshop was anything but watered down...

Front bends, backward bends, triangles, lunges, warriors, shoulder stands and head stands. Ah the world of Yoga. There is no better way to start a day than an intense session of yoga practice, pushing your body ever so gently into twists and stretches, with your breath aligned and the mind at rest. The exhilaration along with the peace and calm one gets in the practice of Yoga is quite unparalleled. And yet our practice on the mat is just the beginning....

It’s one thing to have a theoretical understanding that we are each a unique wave in the vast ocean of universal consciousness. It’s another thing to have time-tested tools to help us tap into this experientially. This past Sunday I attended Paul Muller-Ortega’s half-day workshop where he shared practices that supported us with the latter...
