My goal is to offer an approach to yoga and meditation that is accessible and provides you with a sense of success. That’s why I teach in sequences, beginning with gentle warm ups and progressing to stretches and poses that build more strength and stamina. My philosophy is there is always a version of the pose that will work.

The most common myth I hear about yoga is, “I’m not flexible enough to do yoga!” I say myth, because while advanced poses do require a great deal of flexibility, and strength too, yoga is not in its essence a physical activity, despite the fact that we use our body to practice it. Yoga is about union, union of our individual consciousness with universal consciousness. It’s a spiritual activity in the broadest sense of spirit, outside of any human construction of religion. You could say it’s the most non-denominational spirituality there is. So from wherever you are, from whatever theistic or non-theistic path you come, yoga helps to establish harmony in the body, heart, and soul.

We all differ in regard to our constitution and to the injuries we’ve had, so right from the start let’s give up comparing ourselves to one another, as if there were one “right” way to look or be. The body we’re in right now is so deserving of our respect and love: let’s commit to taking the best care of it as we practice. Let’s honor the degree of flexibility we have, the amount of strength we have right now, and start our practice from there. That just makes sense.

Another cornerstone of my approach is to combine yoga with elements of meditation as we practice. The combination is powerful. I encourage you to set the bar high for what you are wanting to receive from your practice. Personally, my desire in practicing yoga is in part to take good care of this body but also to establish more and more self-love and acceptance and compassion inside my heart. If you’re sincere about what you’re going for and why you’re wanting to bring yoga and meditation into your life, then get ready to receive the blessing of your sincere intention!

Yoga blends well with basic principles of meditation: 1) being present to the information and feedback the body is giving; 2) turning our focus within as we set time for our practice to discover what we need right now, what kind of practice will best serve where we’re at right now; 3) filling ourselves up from within by setting aside the details of our worldly life and dedicating time to nurture our essence; 4) bringing us back into our life with a greater ability to give to the people and activities we are holding in our hearts.

My purpose in creating Yoga and Beyond with Sherri is to offer both my love and passion for yoga and meditation through these videos and to offer a prayer that the videos help support you on your journey. In a world of uncertainty and challenges, the wisdom paths of yoga and meditation give me encouragement to keep going with resolve and steadiness, with resilience and enthusiasm.

Come with me as you give your gifts, and we’ll work together to bring more love and care and compassion into this world.

I began practicing yoga in earnest at a time when I was in deep crisis, going through a divorce and changing radically my life direction. The knowledge that not only my life but also my young daughter’s life would be altered irrevocably by my actions weighed heavily on me; she would never see her parents together again in the way children so want, as a unit and always near.

She stayed in her father’s house, and I moved out – at first living in the same city, and then a half hour’s drive away. But the pain of that decision was enormous, for her and her dad and for me as well. I went through waves of deep depression, and for the first and only time in my life I contemplated thoughts of suicide.
