Kelly Connor has been practicing yoga since 1997.  She has studied Ashtanga, Anusara, Kundalini, Vinyasa Flow and Shambhava yoga and actively pursues a yogic lifestyle.  She is a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance and teaches hatha flow yoga, kids’ yoga and family yoga at Community Fitness.  She earned her yoga teacher certification through Shambhava Whole Yoga in 2006 while working as a prosecutor in Colorado, at a time when she needed to bring more yoga into her own life and felt compelled to share that yoga with the world.  She is an activist for the environment and an artist and brings the creativity and passion from those areas of her life into each yoga class.

Kelly strives to share “whole yoga” with her students:  a complete practice, consisting of asana (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises),  study of the yoga sutras and other yogic texts,  repetition of mantra, meditation, bhakti (devotion) and other practices as students express interest.  Her adult classes generally center on a joyful physical practice, incorporating yogic philosophy and principles throughout as concepts for exploration on and off the yoga mat. Kelly’s classes are light-hearted.  About her classes, Kelly says, “We chant om, practice postures and give ourselves a break from the thoughts associated with our day, our judgments and our fears.   We return to ourselves.”
