Welcome to Yoga for Life @ the Yoga Barn!
For 25 years, our unique yoga studio has had a vibrant and dedicated presence and following in Boulder County. We are located just on the outskirts of the city in a beautiful, rural, and rustic farm environment.
With the exception of our Friday in-person only Women’s Temple class, our yoga classes are offered in a hybrid format. This means you can enjoy yoga with us in person or via Zoom, so whether you’re traveling or just want to stay home, you can access our unique community and quality classes.
We offer four unique classes each week. Our classes are perfect for anyone who is interested in slowing down, moving mindfully in a breath-centered way, and focusing on the subtle energy flow that is alive and ever-changing inside our bodies. Every class provides fundamental support in a balanced way for both our physical and energetic systems.
Are you a beginner?
An awesome entry point might be a Yin class on Wednesday or Sunday. As I do not offer specific beginners’ classes, if you are interested in our vinyasa practices consider a few private sessions with me and learn first-hand how to move safely and confidently in your body, what to expect, and how to make the most of your classes.
A few benefits of a regular yoga practice:
- Better breath attention and depth
- Better balance/less overwhelm
- More ease of movement and motion
- Increase mindfulness of thoughts, actions and attitude
- Stronger bones/less stiffness
- Community and connection
- More vitality/feel better!!
- Balance/ease/love

Yin
This delicious joint focused practice targets our myo-fascial web within. It is suitable for all levels, athletes, those stressed by life and work, and anyone who wants to lovingly embrace a little more self-care and inner connection. Discover how a still, mindful focus can invite you into a more fluid state of motion/being.
Why YIN is important and why this could be a class for you:
- it is a simple practice, an accessible practice suitable for all levels and can be adapted for any body.
- it’s a beautiful practice for your joints
- a beautiful practice for your mind
- a beautiful practice to bring more ease of movement into your being (body.mind.spirit)
- it is wonderfully, lovingly well suited to older bodies in love and nourishment.
Yin invites us to acknowledge the resistance – the ‘edge’ of a shape. To listen. Have a loving conversation with resistance. So worth it. I’m more limber, fluid, open and relaxed after I navigate this practice.
Women’s Temple Practice
This is a practice to connect, support and validate women through life’s many transformations and journeys. A mindful embodiment practice to honor the temple of our bodies as we transform, re-wire and BE within the essence of our divine feminine selves. And as we are always in a time of change, it’s nice to have a sanctuary in which to connect and flow. Whether you are juggling family and career, midlife, caregiving or retirement, there is space for you. Self-care does not have an age!
Sacred Vinyasa Flow (Intermediate)
Step out of the chaos and into the calm.
This slower, physically engaged, meditative practice focuses on mindful attention to our natural rhythms of breath, body, mind, and spirit. Here we get to experience a deeper alignment of our inner and outer worlds and the wealth of wisdom available if we truly learn how to slow down and listen.
This class is for those with previous yoga experience.
Friday Pause @ Noon
Friday’s “Pause at Noon” about 20ish minutes and any subscriber to my social network can join, in real time, as they wish. These mini offerings invite a mindful pause to connect, move, breathe, stretch, listen and … a ‘pause’ in your day. Find these classes at Kerry Louise, Double Rainbow Ranch FB group, or my You Tube Channel. I’d love you to subscribe!
Yin & Yoga Nidra
Yin & Yoga Nidra classes are not currently being offered.
We begin with about 45 min of Yin Yoga, where we turn our lens deeply inward and focus on joints and the deeper connective tissues of the body (ligaments, joints, fascia, and bones). Most poses are on the floor and held for 3-5 minutes.
(see above for more on the benefits of Yin).
Then you will be guided to create your “nest” and enjoy 45-ish minutes of a guided Yoga Nidra practice. Yoga Nidra is a structured and specific journey into a state of effortless relaxation, similar to a deep, conscious “sleep” sometimes referred to as “yogic sleep”. In this practice we continue to draw our attention inwards, and we learn to move between wakefulness and deep rest. The body finds its natural state of equilibrium, the breath becomes quiet, balanced, and there is an inner revealing to aspects of mind.
I was so resistant to the online classes, I didn’t think it would be this easy to see, hear and connect. I’m loving it!

I love the Saturday Sacred Flow class. I’ve tried other online classes but Kerry’s focus on wellness and wisdom and as we age is unique: she combines a practice, focused on the breath, that is meditative as well as physical and challenging. By the end of class, I am at peace in body and mind. I feel very centered, relaxed, and energized at the same time. I’ve never taken a class that was so restorative to both mind and body. I recommend this class.

It is so convenient to practice online with you. I feel like I am getting a private lesson with each class.
