WHEN DID YOU BEGIN CULTIVATING YOUR PRACTICE?

Kelsey's yoga journey began in 2015 at Magnificat High School, after a long week of running cross-country, the school offered weekly yoga classes. She started going to Hot Vinyasa at Inner Bliss in Rocky River, which was just the beginning. She REALLY fell in love and deepened her practice during 3 years as a volunteer at a Bikram Hot Yoga studio in Boulder, Colorado.

WHEN DID YOU BEGIN HELPING OTHERS CULTIVATE THEIR PRACTICE?

I began teaching in January 2023! However, I have led multiple 3-day retreats, and have guided others in various meditation styles, and have given informal yoga classes with family and friends before teaching regularly.

HOW DO YOU ENVISION CULTIVATE YOGA SERVING OUR COMMUNITY?

With knowledgeable and devoted teachers backed by a dedicated community united by unconditional love, I envision Cultivate Yoga sharing knowledge and spreading love across the world! Through teachers' hands-on assistance, yoga teacher trainings, continuing education resources, enriching retreats and travel experiences, local volunteer opportunities, unique workshops, and transformative yoga classes, I believe Cultivate Yoga can facilitate more opportunities for personal, physical, and spiritual growth encouraged by a strong internal team and supported by a bountiful yoga community.

WHAT HAS YOGA HELPED TO CULTIVATE WITHIN YOU? 

SO many things! Primarily, inner peace (that post-shavasana bliss is real!) patience + strength in difficult poses, connection with the mind and body, and breath awareness.

BESIDES YOGA, WHAT IS ONE THING THAT CULTIVATES JOY IN YOUR LIFE?

Slow walks in nature!
