One of Sherri's earliest memories includes taking her first after-school tumbling class at the JCC in Chicago, Illinois. While bouncing across the mat to Captain and Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together," that inner child's awareness of the body and fascination with body movement inspired a lifetime of enthusiastic athletic endeavors, including participation in biking, dance, kickboxing, and competitive gymnastics and volleyball. Although she never followed in her ballerina mother's footsteps "sur les pointes," Sherri found herself drawn to the softer, supportive expression of yoga in search of relaxation and momentary escape from the high tech world. Her exploration of many different styles of yoga has spanned the country, allowing her the privilege of practicing with incredible teachers such as Baron Baptiste, John Berg, Kent Bond, Gary Kraftsow, Jill Miller, Desiree Rumbaugh, Sianna Sherman, Ganga White and Tracey Rich. The journey down this yogic path came full circle (but continues indefinitely) when Sherri recently met an aunt on her mother's side, Lin Chiung Chu, in Taiwan, and discovered she was a lifetime member of several international yoga associations and one of the first to bring yoga to the island more than 30 years ago!
Sherri's teaching schedule consists of private sessions and corporate health and wellness programs. Based on her own experience with body mechanics and injuries from both physical activity and "corporate-itis," Sherri has a personal interest in pain management and injury prevention/recovery for the back, neck and shoulders. She emphasizes safe, gentle fitness routines to improve posture, release tension, increase flexibility and renew energy, especially important for those sitting at desks all day long. Sherri is a Level I certified Yoga Tune Up® teacher and is also certified by SCW Fitness for Yoga Fundamentals I, II and Flow.
