Welcome to Breathe        Yoga Studio

Hey!  I'm Kelly and I am the owner of Breathe Yoga Studio.  I have been a yoga lover for over 5 years and decided it was time to turn my passion into a business! I have my RYT200 certification and plan to continue to take different styles of workshops to expand my knowledge and practice. 

​

I'm originally from NJ, but NC has always felt like home to me.  I've been here now for 16 years and couldn't imagine living anywhere else.  I love the mountains, riding motorcycles, and basically anything outdoors. 

​

Yoga has healed me in more ways than one, which has motivated me to want to share this practice with others. 

I was first introduced to yoga more than 10 years ago and have had a passion for it ever since.  I never considered it as a career until after showing my husband some stretches to help his injured shoulder.  He told me how much better he instantly felt, and I had the realization that I could help a lot of people.  So, I decided to earn my RYT200 Certification.  My goal is to share the wondrous effects of yoga on the mind, body and spirit. 

I am a 200-hr Registered Yoga Teacher, completing this under the tutelage of Kim Zegil.  Currently working towards completing my 300-hr certification, I have been teaching locally for 3 years and a yoga student for over 15 years.  A foundation of vinyasa became my springboard to exploring smaller certifications & passions such as breathwork and yogic philosophy.  When it comes to the mat, I love a strong slow flow or deep stretch. 

Over 5 years as a mom, I started to notice the positive effects of simple  movement in my family's daily life.  This ignited my passion for making yoga simple, fun, and effective. Teaching adults and children to listen to their bodies, their intuition, and to have a good time while doing so!

Graduated from Chakra Flow University, I am a 200hr Registered Yoga Teacher, as well as a certified Reiki Master Teacher.  My focus as your instructor is to challenge any limiting beliefs you may have about yourself, as well as guide you through practice that will leave you feeling confident, strong and relaxed. 

​

I strongly believe that yoga is for everyone, regardless of fitness level, experience, age or body type. As someone who has lived with fibromyalgia for over a decade, I am empathetic toward pain and recognize how difficult it can be to get moving.  I also know first hand of the healing that movement can bring, which is why I do what I do!

Hey! I'm Kelsi!  I've been practicing yoga since 2013; it was love at first class.  That hot vinyasa flow left me in a puddle of sweat, exhausted, exhilarated, and begging for more.  After several years of diligent (obsessive?) practice, I opted to pursue my RYT-200 certification which I received in 2018.  

​

In my classes, you'll experience feel-good vinyasa flows saturated with creative transitions, organic movement, and postures that test strength, flexibility, and balance.  I love the playfulness and freedom that vinyasa embodies, and enjoy expressing my creativity through graceful yet powerful movement and sequences.

​

I am an Iredell County native, and have been married to my husband, Daniel, since 2008.  We have a beautiful daughter, Evie, and a sweet old spaniel named Lola.  I'm a homebody, a sunshine junkie, and a flower gardener.  I spend as much of my free time as possible outside.  I also love a good art or craft project, baking decadent things, and finding treasures in thrift stores. 

E-RYT500, has been registered with Yoga Alliance and teaching since 2009.  I completed my second accredited training program in 2014 and have attended countless workshops for continuing education since.  I am experienced with over 6500 teaching hours in 15 years.  

​

I believe that yoga can be an integrative practice for everyone's life bringing physical, mental and spiritual benefit through mindful practice.  I teach and share yoga with all ages, in studios, senior communities, outdoor local vineyards, retreats and private instruction.
