Kelsey’s yoga practice began in 2013, when she found her niche after exploring a few different styles and studios in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her practice flourished at a community focused and welcoming ashtanga-based studio. She spent years volunteering there, building community and deepening her relationship with the asanas, pranayama and mindfulness. It was only natural that after she, her partner, and their two dogs moved to Asheville, she would find Asheville Community Yoga. Since 2022, she’s been a part of the community, volunteering and practicing on a regular basis. In February 2023, she completed her first 200-hour Certified Yoga Alliance program in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. These days, you can find her in most any style class, flowing along with the community of ACY. When not at the studio, she enjoys dancing, sharing meals with friends, and being outside, specifically in or around water, and/or with dogs.
