Kelli started her love of movement at age 3! 

She met a best buddy at a creative movement class which lead to 10 years of daily ballet training. She also developed a passion for learning, teaching and working with others graduating college with a Communication's degree minoring in Education. Although she enjoyed a healthcare career, Kelli and her husband both decided for her to take time off to raise their 3 children who were close in age. Thankfully, with the support and creativity of her mom bringing crafts, games and songs into their childrens' lives, Kelli was able to turn to yoga to manage some stressful times especially with health issues of a child. She quickly developed a love for it.  When it was time to head back into the workforce, it made sense to focus on teaching and sharing yoga with children. Kelli has worked as a substitute teacher for the past 9 years (on the days she was not teaching yoga).  

She is passionate about sharing the creative movement and benefits of yoga to children, adolescents and teens for promoting health, self-esteem, -efficacy, -resilience and -love! Contact Kelli to find out more about her Story Time yoga classes, events and private parties!
