NAMASTE, I’M KELSEY REED

I have always felt best when in tune with my body and mind. As a child, I found myself the most connected participating in dance, which I thought would be my profession. After years of being burned out at a young age, I found yoga in college during my parents’ divorce, personal heartbreak, and family struggles with addiction. It gave me the same sense of connection that dance offered, without the body shaming, judgment, and perfectionism. It saved my mental health and introduced me to a new way of living and loving myself.

Since 2009, I’ve been an avid yoga practitioner and health advocate. In 2012, I received my RYT-200 from Asheville Community Yoga Center and have since earned my E-RYT with over 2500 hours of experience, and am level 1 certified in Trauma-Informed Yoga. Since being certified and earning my degree in Health & Wellness Promotion at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, I’ve dedicated my life to sharing the practice of yoga to improve mental and physical health and to motivate growth in my community.

To this day, I continue to find ways to grow my practice and help more people. I traveled to India in 2015 to explore yoga at its origins, hosted international yoga retreats in both Peru and Greece, and have an upcoming retreat in Bali!
