A movement artist, wellness activist and author of the book American Detox: The Myth of Wellness and How We Can Truly Heal, Kerri is recognized across communities for politicizing wellness and bridging personal transformation with collective change. With over 20 years experience as a yoga teacher and embodied facilitator, she has been instrumental in supporting healers, activists, organizers, and changemakers in working with the body as a site of healing, power and transformation. Kerri is known for making waves in the wellness industry by challenging norms, disrupting systems and mobilizing people to act. Rooted in the understanding that our liberation and wellbeing are bound, her leadership has inspired CTZNWELL, a collective that is democratizing wellbeing and actively organizing around issues of racial and economic justice, healthcare as a human right, civic engagement and more. Her latest project, Movement for the Movement, is a dynamic and embodied inquiry into how the body is shaped by history and culture and how the body shapes new futures and possibilities. Weaving somatic practices with social justice frameworks, this training is designed to build resilience, deepen relational capacity, and disrupt the embedded patterns that mirror oppression—even within our movements and healing spaces. kerrikelly.co ctznwell.org

 

Reverence for Impulse Is an unscripted and unplanned podcast with me, Weena Pauly-Tarr and my brother Tim Pauly, both working in the worlds of somatics: exploring bodies and all they hold/do/feel. We start each guest encounter with a few minutes of meeting each other without words, through the language of our bodies, before we press record and bring it to a conversation. This is not a hard hitting agenda or getting to the bottom of things. It's about finding each other in the not-knowing. We’re here for the spaciousness, the awkwardness, the silliness, the silence — from the dark insides of our bodies to the bright insights of our minds, we’re excited to welcome people who’s impulses we’d like to get to know.
