Schedule

Meditation has been part of my life for years, but I need reminders and imposed structure to reinvigorate my practice from time to time. Kelly’s approachability, calm yet enlivening demeanor, and comfort with teaching and course content came through clearly throughout our 6-week session. Thank you Kelly for sharing the gift of yoga and meditation and yourself with all of us.

Kelly is very patient and has a delightful personality that we enjoy spending time with even at 7 am. She is a wonderful instructor. That slight additional tilt or movement of one’s feet that make all the difference rarely escape her attention. We feel relaxed and invigorated after our sessions.

For me, yoga with Kelly was the way back after a traumatic and life-changing event. Nine years ago, my wife and I nearly lost our son during a very challenging birth. The stress that followed took its toll, both physically and psychologically. The instruction Kelly offered enabled me to work through my feelings instead of remaining incarcerated by them. Recurring nightmares turned into restful nights of sleep; tension filled muscles became a more flexible body; and anxious uncertainty transformed into an abiding sense of peace and confidence.

I came back into yoga after years of inactivity due to constant chronic back pain. Kelly provided an ideal mix of helping me to learn safe modifications and still challenging me to do more. She helped me to develop a daily yoga practice at home to compliment our sessions, and checked in with me on what was working or not. It has been transformational.

Yoga has been my salvation. Three years ago I was in excruciating pain and could not even tie my own shoelaces. I was diagnosed with severe stenosis and facet disease. After doctor’s care and approval, I joined Kelly’s yoga class. Within six months I started to see a very marked improvement in my mobility and a reduction in my level of pain. After a year I was in better shape than I had been in the past ten years. Now I am out doing fairly strenuous exercise, contact dance (with care), lots of wild dancing, kayaking and moderate hiking.

When my back really started bothering me a few years ago Kelly mentioned to me that yoga may help. I went to an orthopedic and PT, they prescribed pills and some exercises which seemed to help right after and for a day or to beyond but not much longer. Finally I followed Kelly’s advice and tried her class. I only wish she had twisted my arm and I had gone sooner. I’m so much better, and when it does act up I now have tools that I can use at home to get back to “normal.”

I kept hearing about the benefits of meditation from online articles and other sources. Kelly Fisher has helped me develop my own practice, incorporating my faith and stress relief techniques into my meditation. In just a few private lessons, I have established my own meditation program. Now, I just need to keep it up.

I really love coming to Kelly’s classes every week. They always make me slow down and pay attention to myself in a way that I find challenging, and she puts so much thought into the themes and poses and making every class cohesive– I just feel very lucky to get to be a part of it each week.
