Traveling to various yoga ashrams, she had the opportunity to experience the yogic lifestyle in an intentional community setting. She fell in love with the classic style of Integral Hatha Yoga that is a blissful balance of asana, pranayama, relaxation & spirituality. She began her training in 2006 and over the past 15 years has studied with mentors such as: Joseph LePage, Yoganand Michael Carroll, Swami Asokananda, Doug Keller, Anna Forest, Guru Jagat, Kia Miller & Guru Singh. After years of practicing and teaching, Kelley brings an intuitive approach to her classes, offering whatever is needed for the bodies in the room. Her hatha yoga classes are a melding of somatic movement, sun salutations, restorative & yin postures, pilates, pranayama breathing practices and of course, a deeply nourishing relaxation. The practice of yoga is a sacred experience and it is her honor to share practices that have helped her heal anxiety, chronic pain & addiction in her own life.
