Isn’t that a question we all ask at some point? How DID I get here??? Or maybe it’s more like “How in the WORLD did I get here??” Well, I can tell you that there have been a bunch of dots - a variety of my experiences over many years - that have connected to create this moment. Connecting the dots I have been a group fitness enthusiast since the early days of high-impact aerobics (picture this: 1980’s style wearing my Reeboks, scrunchy leg warmers, and sweat band!) I took classes at a place called “Fantasy Island” (seriously, that was the name, I don’t even want to know what the owners were thinking when they chose that name!) It was a store-front with one large room and I remember thinking “Wouldn’t it be cool to own a place like this one day (with a much better name…)?” I was never serious about it, but I must admit over the years every now and then it would cross my mind, even as recently as the past 5 years. “Back in the day” you didn’t really need a certificate to teach aerobics -- if you were one of the front-row students (guilty as charged), got to know the teacher, and were interested, you could start teaching. And so it began -- I taught at a really small gym while in grad school which was a great way to exercise for free (and even make a few dollars). My formal education is a Bachelors of Business Administration/Marketing and an MBA/Masters of Computer Science which doesn’t exactly shout out Yoga or Fitness Instructor. But yet, here’s that dot again... My yoga journey began over 20 years ago when I started taking yoga classes to address an achy upper back and shoulders caused from too many hours working at a computer (can you relate?). At the time I was taking classes that were very physically challenging, and although my muscles would be shaking at the end, I felt calm and relaxed. It was just what I needed to manage the stresses of working and raising two young kids (with one more still to come). After practicing yoga for 10 years, I decided to share my love of yoga with others by becoming an instructor in what I called my “hobby” job. In the meantime, I left the world of high-tech and turned to my community to work part-time at local non-profits in marketing/communications/ fundraising. This afforded me time to teach a few more classes - dot, dot, dot… Fast forward to 2015 and another dot - I was approached to teach a Keep it Moving class at Washington Hospital Wellness Center. Teaching this class has brought such joy to my life as it aligns perfectly with my beliefs that we need to age actively, it’s never too late to start, and that socializing is an important component of staying healthy. Then 2020 arrived -- need I say more? On day one of shelter-in-place I attended a training on how to use Zoom to teach classes, and by the end of the week I had contacted my current students to get virtual classes going. Ah-ha, that tech background did come in handy....(see how the dots are connecting?) The last dot is that the time is right for Keep Moving with Sherri. My youngest daughter graduated high school and I’ve been ready to figure out what’s next for me, and how to expand my fitness and yoga teaching so that even more of you can feel more energized, more balanced, stronger, and calmer. We’ve all experienced the benefits of doing this at-home-virtual-exercising thing, and honestly for me, it’s been more fun than I expected. Which brings me right here — a bunch of connected dots plus supportive and encouraging family, friends, and students. I am super excited to be launching Keep Moving with Sherri and excited to have you create more dots with me! https://www.keepmovingwithsherri.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-02-27 https://www.keepmovingwithsherri.com/home daily 1.0 2023-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6031c6d74da2f359a62d825e/1615690972559-IH6B82BO3RSEXSLIQNXC/home%2Bpage%2Bphoto%2Bmuse.jpg Home - Yoga and fitness classes for active aging with wellness Let’s move together, breathe together, stay strong together, find balance together, and definitely have fun together. https://www.keepmovingwithsherri.com/class-interest daily 0.75 2021-04-19 https://www.keepmovingwithsherri.com/on-demand daily 0.75 2022-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6031c6d74da2f359a62d825e/1615702410933-3098QY77S0XHOK2YIX7G/warrior%2B2%2Boutside.jpg Yoga On Demand - Only $20/month for unlimited access Includes recordings of LIVEstream Yoga classes, instructional videos, and varied length classes.

Schedule (ZOOM classes): Tuesdays 11:00 am - noon (PT) Thursdays 11:00 am - noon (PT) Fridays 4:00 - 5:00 pm (PT) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6031c6d74da2f359a62d825e/1618870002003-V5UGVCI8MY2I5Y0X75YD/kim+outside.JPG Fitness Fitness Fun Looking for “oomph” in your fitness? This is a heart-pumping, strength-building, be healthy workout. Like all my classes, I will encourage you to make it your own — Slow down, speed it up, rest. Lighter weights, heavier weights, no weights, rest. Be safe with your body. All abilities are welcome. Schedule (ZOOM classes): Tuesdays 9:00 - 10:00 am (PT) Fridays 9:00 - 10:00 am (PT) https://www.keepmovingwithsherri.com/yoga daily 0.75 2022-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6031c6d74da2f359a62d825e/1615700232975-FKX13Z70D3UAH4IC4PE5/warrior%2B1%2Boutside.jpg Yoga My classes move slowly, allowing you to feel each pose in your body and make any adjustments for it to feel best for you each time you come to your mat. I offer options to accommodate all abilities, and encourage the use of props (including yoga blocks or books, chair or other furniture, walls, and pillows/blankets). Gentle Yoga Class is taught one pose at a time, with time between poses to safely transition between them. While class will start and end on the floor (option to sit on chair), we do not go up and down between floor and standing poses. This is a perfect class for beginners. Weekend Wake-up Yoga Definitely more challenging than Gentle Yoga, but accessible to all levels as I encourage you to move slowly and carefully. We will hold each pose for several breaths, allowing you to feel it in your body and release the kinks and tightness that build up from our daily lives. This class will have transitions from floor to standing (and vice versa), with options to accommodate all abilities. Schedule (ZOOM classes): Gentle Yoga - Mondays 12:00 - 1:00 pm (PT) Gentle Yoga - Thursdays 9:00 - 10:00 am (PT) Weekend Wake-up Yoga - Saturdays 9:00 - 10:00 am (PT) https://www.keepmovingwithsherri.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2021-11-28 https://www.keepmovingwithsherri.com/terms-of-service daily 0.75 2021-11-28 https://www.keepmovingwithsherri.com/terms-of-purchase daily 0.75 2025-05-22 https://www.keepmovingwithsherri.com/pricing daily 0.75 2023-10-01 https://www.keepmovingwithsherri.com/schedule daily 0.75 2023-09-30
