Kelly began her yoga journey in the early 2000s in Santa Monica, CA practicing under teachers such as Steve Ross, Vinny Marino and Kathryn Budig.  After a long break, Kelly found her way back to yoga in 2023 during a very difficult time in her life.  During that time she says “yoga saved me”, helping her to cultivate a much deeper connection between mind, body and spirit in her practice.

She embraces the endless learning yoga offers through her consistent, almost obsessive practice at home and in the studio, as well as through workshops and Teacher Trainings.  She completed her 200hr Yoga Alliance recognized YTT through Amazing Yoga in Pittsburgh, PA April of 2025.

Kelly lives in beautiful downtown New Bern with her husband, son and daughter.  She is honored and excited to be a part of the growing yoga community in the New Bern area and has been finding so much joy in sharing this transformative practice with others.
