About Us
Kelsey Gallery, Co-Founder
Mantra: The Journey is the Destination
Yoga changed Kelsey’s life. She has always prioritized physical fitness, but not always for the healthiest reasons. Since introducing yoga to her life she noticed that not only is she stronger physically, but also mentally and emotionally able to take on whatever comes her way. It’s been an incredible journey that she feels called to share.
Kelsey spent the majority of her adult life chasing the life she thought she “should” have. She has struggled with self limiting beliefs surrounding body image, not feeling worthy, the need to please, and so much more. Yoga has taught her that she does not need to attach to her body or anything else. In her practice, she works towards peeling away the doubt and judgement, and focuses on the things she can control. When she does this, she can love herSelf and then she is able to love others so much more deeply.
Once Kelsey felt the effects of how the practice of yoga changed her life she was determined to share it with others. Kelsey is an E-RYT 200 and it is her greatest honor and privilege to share her practice with those that can relate. It is Kelsey’s goal to empower the practitioners in class to live their truth, find their peace and to be free.
