Brighten Up! Rekindling the Light of Our Lives in Costa Rica with Kelly

Hello Friends! I’m Kelly. I’m a yoga instructor, performing artist, healer, and light-bringer.

I’ve been guiding yoga regularly for over 5 years and have had the honor of teaching many different communities that expand beyond studio spaces to my own online offerings, workshops, parks, the aquarium, the local greenhouse, retreats, festivals, and more! It brings me immense fulfillment to get to guide others through this way of being with themselves while tapping into collective healing.

As an actor, I am passionate about the human experience. As a dancer, movement communicates with me on an emotional and spiritual level. I want to continue exploring our human complexities and use that knowledge to balance, strengthen, heal, and elevate.

Around the time I went into yoga teacher training, I became more curious about how I could serve myself holistically, from what I ate, how I moved my body, to what activities sparked my joy and how much REST was required to resume in the brightest manner.

I truly believe in the power of retreating. Not necessarily escaping from life... but mindfully withdrawing from the pressures of the disciplined routines we’ve created to keep up with this chaotic modern world. Retreating replenishes, refuels, and reminds us of how to thoughtfully imbue beauty and purpose into every moment and every choice we make when we return.

I’m thrilled to guide you through this mindful withdrawing towards holistic betterment — to relax, to play, to nourish, to eat well while honoring Mother Earth, to connect, to love, to reflect, to reset, and to ultimately BRIGHTEN.
