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 (born in 2017 and 2020.)
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. 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 doing yoga :), watching TV with my dog, reading books, spending time outside when it isn’t too hot, and spending time with my husband and two boys (they are now 8 and 5.) Our family especially enjoys watching Bluey, going to the local library, and playing board games.
About Me
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”
-The Bhagavad Gita
