Kerry’s career started in the military with intense physical activities and a mantra of ‘no pain no gain’. It was whilst playing rugby for the Army that she developed a knee injury and her evolving interest in yoga supported her long-term recovery following an operation. It opened an enduring interest in preventative healthcare. After the military, she founded a Yoga Studio which became a wonderful community, offering a variety of styles.
