Welcome! My name is Kelsey Leonard. I have a Bachelors Degree in elementary and special education and a Master’s Degree in Literacy. I was a public school teacher for 6 years before becoming a full-time stay-at-home mom for my two boys.

I have always been interested in meditation and yoga, and I practiced yoga in my home using online videos. I also enjoy yoga classes at our town’s recreation center and a local yoga studio here in AZ. In 2024, my passion for yoga led me to enroll in a 200-hour yoga teacher training program. Yoga has helped me in so many ways, and my goal is to create a friendly yoga & meditation space for other people too!

In 2024, I also had a series of medical issues that made leaving the house very challenging. I discovered the importance of having online services available. I want to offer affordable online yoga that can be accessible to people who need to stay home for whatever reason, or to make scheduling easier. Online options can open more doorways to self-care.

I am always learning and growing, developing my own personal yoga practice. I intentionally keep a “beginner’s mindset”, and have an open mind for new experiences, new perspectives, and new knowledge. I will also be completing coursework & certification hours in the following areas:

-Yin Yoga

-Chair Yoga

-Kids Yoga

In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, sons, and our dog. I also enjoy watching TV, reading books, art journaling, and scrapbooking.

About Me

“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”
