Kerri Hanlon believes the heart of a yoga practice is the art of acceptance, of ourselves and others. It’s her belief that yoga is for everyone – all ages, all abilities, all body shapes and sizes – that is the heart of Yoga Home.

Kerri has always possessed a strong sense of nurturing and an abundance of compassion for others, but with yoga she learned to be compassionate with herself. Her classes are filled with inspiration, empowerment and gratitude.
 As her personal yoga practice has evolved, she’s come to listen to her body and spirit and see what type of practice she needs that day and encourages her students to do the same. Whether she’s teaching an invigorating Power Class or soothing body and soul with a Restorative Class, Kerri prioritizes holding sacred space so her students are free to completely drop into their practice.

She is passionate about bringing Adaptive Yoga to the Philadelphia region, and credits her son, Sean, with being her inspiration. She created Yoga Home’s Adaptive Yoga program with classes for children and adults with physical, cognitive and/or emotional disabilities at Yoga Home, at schools, day and residential programs. Kerri’s work has been featured on multiple Philadelphia media outlets.

With over 10,000 teaching hours, and having led dozes of retreats, workshops and series, in 2023, Kerri was ready for something more and co-created Yoga Home’s first 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Program, a vinyasa based program based on deep self-study. Trainees graduated ready to teach, some immediately stepping into teaching, while others did the program to deepen their practice.

Kerri’s past includes Co-Executive Producer of “On the Other Side of the Fence”, the international award-winning documentary that spreads the message of acceptance and diversity. Recognized by the United Nations for Extraordinary Public Service, Gold Medalist at the New York International Film Festival and Emmy Winner, the film chronicles relationships be
