Testimonials

“Kelley’s yoga classes have provided me with a safe, fun environment to develop a deeper understanding of my physical body, as well as mental and emotional tendencies. Every class challenges students to be fully present and to find balance between strength and surrender. I always come away from Kelley’s class with a new insight into how to create more beauty in my practice and in life.”
– K. Minogue, musician

“A great teacher, she tries to instill in all of us who practice with her the skill of listening to our own body and valuing its wisdom.”
– T. Foley, professor

“Yoga with Kelley is the way to go for any level of student from the experienced to the new.  We have everything from young, lithe, athletic former gymnasts and ballerinas to guys like me who left the fitness path about 50 pounds ago.  The best thing about yoga with Kelley is that she works hard to know each of us individually.  She knows us by name, by former injury or health concern and helps us to tailor our practice to make certain that we can modify our practice to acknowledge our unique physical limitations or challenges us to go beyond to the next level.”
- P. Millen, sports marketer

“Kelley Gardner’s yoga instruction is a perfect integration of body, mind, and spirit. Kelley’s clear and consistent instructions help even the least experienced beginner achieve a sense of accomplishment in the practice. Kelley gently, but firmly, encourages all of her students to get the most from their yoga experience. Personally, I feel that I have changed both physically and mentally as a result of practicing yoga with Kelley. I have more mobility in my back and I feel more prepared to take on the challenges in other parts of my life. Those improvements alone would keep me coming back to the practice, but there are so many other benefits that could be enumerated….like improvements in posture and my ballroom dancing!! So, thanks Kelley…I greatly appreciate all of your patience and guidance.”
-V. Case, biologist

“When I met Kelley for a newspaper interview in 1997, I was struck by her natural (and humorous!) intuitions for bringing out, and then bringing together, the simple truths of human bodies, minds, and spirits during a fun hour-and-a-half of yoga. Exploring the strength and freedom of yoga with Kelley since then has been a joy, and I am especially grateful for her expert knowledge of human physiology—a useful point of practical reference as I passed 40 with continuing strength and flexibility!”
- J. Syme, writer

“I am a yoga teacher as well, and whenever I attend one of her classes, she opens up a whole new world for me. Perhaps it’s experiencing an asana in a different way, or a reconnection with my energy and spirit. It’s always something, some sort of shift. My practice has and will continue to grow from Kelley’s guidance. Through her, I have become a better teacher.”
