kellyKelly Valenzuela has been teaching hatha yoga for the past 10 years not only as an asana practice, but as a way of life. She believes yoga is a journey of self discovery, self awareness and self-love, leading us through ever deepening levels to our True and Highest Self. In her classes, Kelly invites her students to meet themselves exactly where they are, to breathe, and to allow the unfolding of their bodies to mirror the unfolding of their Hearts.  Her teaching style balances sthira and sukha, effort and ease, combining strong, active poses and sequences with calming, grounding stillness. In this way the physical self can soften and relax helping the inner self, our mind and emotions, to become more still and more at peace - this is where we find to our Yoga, our Union.  Kelly believes that yoga is unique to each practitioner. While we all strive for greater openness, ease and strength on the mat and in our lives, your yoga is perfect. It is exactly where you are on your journey, and therefore there’s no where else you should be.  Kelly is a Master’s Level Therapist with an M.A. from Bastyr University,  and holds yoga teaching certificates from Mount Madonna Center in California and Sarah Powers, and a BFA in Modern Dance.
