Kelsey has worked with all types of people and levels of experience from studios to yurts, martial artists and the elderly. Teachings are offered in various forms: classes, virtual and in-person, private instruction, events, workshops, and karma yoga/service.
Her teaching methodology blends the physical practice of asana (movement) with pranayama (breathwork), meditation, philosophy, awakening of personal truth, and mantra.
A personal goal as a teacher is to share techniques and practices that help initiate one's own experience of yoga and Svādhyāya (स्वाध्याय) or self-knowing.

Yoga Testimonials:
"I was fortunate to have Kelsey as a Yoga instructor. Her patience and knowledge of techniques and movements, provided this novice yoga practicer with a comfortable yet challenging learning environment that helped to expand the limits of what I believed the body to capable of. After hearing me rave about Kelsey’s energetic, artistic approach to instruction; my husband decided to attend classes with me and he also became quickly addicted to her magnetic personality and creative instruction. Our sessions with Kelsey helped to melt away the stress we carried and would replace it with a satisfying sense of calm that we craved. Her ability to blend challenging techniques with informative instruction and nurturing encouragement provided the perfect balance for beginners or experienced practitioners of yoga. Kelsey is truly one of a kind!"
-Analisa Thompson
Kelsey was one of the best Yoga Teachers I have ever experienced.
She was able to work with me one on one. What stood out to me was her discernment and ability to assess individuals' abilities. I am better than ever when it comes to deep meditative breathing for stress and anxiety. Being able to focus on being present is very important to me, and Kelsey was able to teach me techniques.
