“Before going on the Idyllwild Forest Goddess Retreat with Kelly, I had a rough month, specifically around the holiday time being apart from my family, and dealing with other family issues. It started to affect my life in a really negative way, specifically my work ethic. I also didn’t really know too much about yoga, meditation, and other mindfulness practices and I didn’t want to feel like the only one there who didn’t have that knowledge. But while we were on the retreat I realized how freaking awesome this type of retreat is! That spending time with a group of amazing women and practicing yoga, meditation, and breathwork can be extremely empowering. I came back feeling more motivated and recharged, with a huge desire to continue practicing everything we did there. This experience makes me want to try new things and has really broadened my perspective on how important taking time to do things like this is for your soul! My favorite part was that we learned all these new ways to stay grounded, that even strong and empowered women go through difficult times/are dealing with things in their life, that it’s okay to let go and to make room for new and positive things. Also, the delicious meals that we got to eat every day! Kelly’s warm and bubbly personality makes it so easy to feel welcome and to be able to open up and feel comfortable trying things that I haven’t done before. I came back from the retreat feeling so healthy, recharged, and balanced—much more like myself. I think every woman should experience a retreat like this!” - Jennifer Lyman

I started doing yoga with Kelly over 4 years ago. As an avid marathoner, I was primarily drawn to her class as an injury prevention technique. However, Kelly’s passion for sharing her practice and welcoming attitude (especially to those of us who are flexibly challenged!) inspired me to sign up for a few of her workshops. I enjoyed them so much that I attended her yoga retreat in Greece. Believe me, I never thought I’d be on a yoga retreat! But I’m so glad I went = it was an amazing experience and truly life changing! I learned a lot about breathing techniques, chakras, and much more. While there are so many things to love about Kelly, I really appreciate how non-judging she is about my lack of knowledge and abilities when it comes to ‘all things yoga.’ She is very encouraging and supporting—meeting students where they are at. Her inclusiveness gave me the courage to sign-up for the weeklong retreat, doing something that felt totally out of my wheelhouse. Without her upbeat and positive attitude, I might have missed out on the vacation of a lifetime. Long story short: Kelly is simply amazing! – Jen A.

“I had the pleasure of going on Kelly’s first Peru retreat in 2017 and it was an amazing experience. We had yoga and meditation throughout the first week while acclimating in Cusco. We stayed in beautiful Wilka T’ika were they feed us wonderful fresh local food. We got to go horseback riding or go rafting. I chose to go horse back riding. Then I think I bit off more than I could chew with the Salkantay Trek. I had a labrum tear and was still healing, plus some back issues. First day of the hike, my back went out. I was able to do the first day, but Kelly tried really hard to help me with the pain. She even did Reiki on me. But, my mind was made up and I was able to be taken back to Cusco to recover. I had a wonderful train ride in to Aguas Calientes, where Machu Picchu is locates to meet up with my crew again. I was well taken care of. Machu Picchu was breathtaking and I was able to make the Huayna Picchu trek. Though I was the last one up and last one down, it was still amazing experience. Kelly was always checking on me making sure I was ok. I would definitely go on a retreat with Kelly again. She is amazing and very kind.” - Patricia Sessa

I met Kelly at a time I was overweight, inactive, and dealing with two severely herniated disks that made standing upright a long, and painful, process every morning.  Even with our first consultative meeting I had to explain the limitations my diagnosis left me with.  Without hesitation Kelly provided a mindset into our sessions that proved my situation was not a roadblock, and trusting her would get us past it.  After a month, I was standing upright with no pain.  By 6 months, her approach to fitness and nutrition had me 40lbs lighter and was living an active life that I never would have thought possible. - Doug Kline
