Hi, I'm Kelsey!
I began my yoga practice 15 years ago in rainy Seattle, WA. Searching for an escape from the damp and dreary weather, I began to attend hot yoga classes regularly at my local studio. I was instantly hooked as I began to experience the benefits of yoga.
After 5 years of practicing various styles of yoga (Iyengar, Vinyasa, Bikram, Yin, Kundalini, Hatha), I became a certified CorePower instructor in Chicago, IL. For the past 10 years, I have taught Yoga and music while living in Luxembourg. To-date I have logged over 2500 hours of teaching experience.
My Yoga Journey
At first I was drawn to the physical benefits of increased strength and flexibility, but the more I practiced the more I found the best benefits of yoga occurred in the mind. I continue to be amazed with the peace and contentment I find through my practice and how it allows me to live a more purposeful life.
For me yoga is a tool of awareness. It is an ancient discipline and art to help you understand yourself and your relation to your environment better. I primarily focus on the techniques of Asana and Pranayama and how we can use these techniques to create better awareness of ourselves.
I try to cultivate a warm and supportive energy in all my classes so that we can create a safe environment in class. All levels and ages are welcome to practice. I will challenge you to learn and grow your own unique yoga practice.
See you on the mat! Namaste.
