Namaste Beloved Souls

My name is Kelly Flowers and I am honored to have you here on my website. Yoga entered my life a decade ago, shortly after a traumatic injury that left me walking with a cane at age 19. At that point in my life I had accepted that was my reality.

​

What I didn't realize was after I stepped into that small classroom in the back corner of the gym at AB Tech that my life would be altered forever. Through my Asana practice I found relief in my physical body. I was able to walk without the use of my mobility aid. I cried so much as I learned the different poses. It was a miracle what yoga did to me.

​

Knowing this was something I couldn't let go of, I enrolled in another semester of yoga and went even deeper into the practice. I found my home studio, Yoga and Massage, back in 2014 and enrolled. Yoga became a part of my life and I made it a point to practice every day - either in studio, in the classroom, or in the comforts of my own home.

​

Fast forward to 2020, I lost my father due to a rapidly spreading cancer caught too late in the process. His passing coupled with the solitary effects of COVID forced me to sit with my feelings and begin to break down cycles and process traumas that kept me stuck in my fight or flight mode. The way I had been living was unsustainable and I had to address my various physical and emotional traumas to live a much more peaceful and genuine life. The things that happened to me were not my fault, but it was my responsibility to heal from those events.

​

So I dove into my yogic studies, tapping into meditation, picking journaling back up from my teenage years, and breathwork. Those these powerful practices alongside my physical practice, I was able to start to shed the layers and break down walls of versions of me that I no longer needed to be. I didn't need my armor up. I didn't need to walk through life scared. I finally started to feel safe in my own body.

​

During my breakdowns and breakthroughs, I felt the deep calling to offer these incredible practices to others. I started to research different schools and I learned about the YTT held at Yoga and Massage from one of my favorite teachers. The YTT journey was such a powerful one. I built friendships that stand the test of time. I connected with myself on such a deeper level. For the first time in my life, I was absolutely certain that was where I needed to be.

​

My Dharma was so clear to me to become a yoga teacher I never even felt an ounce of nervousness when I practiced leading others. I was so excited (that was literally my every other sentence).

​

Since then, I have went on to earn my YTT-300 certificate as well as many other certifications that I hold near and dear to my heart. As a musician of over 20 years, I always found peace when I was playing an instrument. It's been such a beautiful path to witness interweave with my yoga teachings - offering multiple sound baths a month and touches of sound at every yoga class.

​

I truly do believe that yoga is for every body, every soul, every mind. I facilitate all of my classes and sessions from a deep embodied approach. We are all on our own journeys in life and it would be an honor to support you in your own practice.

​

And everything I offer is a mirror of my own personal practice. Which makes what I do even more special. I move with the different phases of the moon in my own life so all of the themes are based on the moon cycle that we are in.

​

So whether you need intensity, softness, movement, stillness, or a space to just be, it would fill my heart to have you unroll your mat with me.

​

And wherever you are in this life, may you go forth into this world with warmth, love, and light.
