Kelly's Background + Teachers

Kelly specializes in trauma-informed yoga practices that foster restoration, replenishment, and nutrification.  She holds safe space for āsana, prānayama and contemplations that invite students to soften inward.  Her offerings emphasize supported āsanas that nourish the body, on the physical and more subtle levels.  The embodied yoga practice is a vehicle for a deeper inner experience where transformation unfolds and where ease, peace and true contentment reside.  The revelation of the ever-present pure awareness that abides within is the ultimate goal of Kelly’s offerings. 

It is an honour and a privilege to receive teachings from the Vedic wisdom traditions.  Kelly’s teaching is made possible by yoga teachers and mentors who have supported and inspired her own journey and who have encouraged her to share this practice with others on the path.  She has been teaching since 2014 and has acquired 500+ hours of training in yin yoga, supreme release yoga, restorative yoga, yoga nidrā, Bhagavad Gītā, Patañjali Yoga Sutrānī, Vāstu, and more.  She has studied with and continue to glean wisdom from truly transformative teachers: Kaya Mindlin, Judith Hanson Lasater, Mary Richards, Andrea Peloso, Kathryn Bruni-Young, Ravi Ravindra, Jenny Kierstead, Nyk Danu and Lisa Bayer.

"Thank you so very much for the beautiful gift of today. It was just what I needed. Life has me feeling so scattered and I left your retreat feeling super calm, refreshed and grounded.  You are truly so calming and have such a beautiful energy about you. I've done a lot of these things but you have something so unique, are so smart and you communicate in such an easy to understand manner. Very talented and the real deal."

"Participating in Girl on Fire when you first launched has had one of the most long lasting impacts on my journey - a lot of where I am now is rooted in the teachings you shared. I recently revisited my workbook while beginning to plan activities for a self empowerment project I am working on."
