About Kerry

At the age of18, I realised high-impact exercise wasn’t leaving my body or mind feeling how I wanted to. That’s when I discovered yoga!

Like many, I was drawn to the physical benefits at first. But that isn’t what typically keeps us coming back to the mat, it’s the way yoga makes us feel that keeps us hooked. Yes, my flexibility and strength improved, but as well as that, my back pain disappeared, panic attacks went away, and I slept more deeply. I was sold!

Whilst I loved the time spent on my mat, when I undertook my first teacher training it wasn’t with the goal of actually teaching yoga, I simply wanted to expand my knowledge.

Of course, what we plan for ourselves isn’t always what life has planned for us! I fell in love with teaching, and from day one felt immediately at home, as though it was what I was born to do. It felt completely natural. This was back in 2014, and since then I’ve had the privilege of teaching thousands of classes, undergoing lots more training (yoga teachers tend to be a big fan of learning!) and growing my own family too (two boys and a pooch).

In 2021, I was due to return to university to continue a Physiotherapy degree, but life had other plans for me, and The Basement Snug was born. A studio has been a big dream of mine for a long time, but it’s never been about huge classes or filling a room to the brim. For me, it’s always been about community. Yoga is a Sanskrit word that translates as “union”, and that’s exactly what you’ll find here at the snug - there’s so much more to yoga than a class.

Whether you come along for yoga or one of the other mindful activities on offer, you’ll be welcomed with the kettle on, and leave feeling lighter.
