Kelly stumbled into her first yoga class because it was part of her gym member ship over 20 years ago. It wasn’t long before she was gravitating to her yoga mat more often than the treadmill. She dove deep into regular practice and took multiple trips to India to study yoga and meditation. She is passionate about making these traditional practices accessible for all. She strives to create a welcoming space for you to nourish your nervous system with gentle movement, breath connection, and stillness blended into each class. Kelly is a mother to two young
