Our Teachers
Redefining Yoga
At Vira Bhava Yoga, our teachers are trailblazers and industry disruptors, working to redefine yoga as a path of reconnection and integration with the innate essence that exists both within and around us. They embrace and teach that yoga is not confined to the mat—it is a way of being that permeates every aspect of life, exactly as it is.
We believe that Yoga isn’t something you do—it’s who you are at your core. The practice of yoga serves as a tool to help you remember and reconnect with that truth, building the confidence to live authentically and fully aligned with your essence.

Kelly is the Founder of Vira Bhava Yoga, and a lifetime practitioner of Yoga. She began practicing Yoga in 1994 and teaching in 2002. She leads teacher training all over the US that emphasizes the power and capacity of each individual student to develop their own voice, trust their own path, and share Yoga as a power, rather than the perfection of asana (postures).
She is a former student and certified teacher of ParaYoga, and currently studies embodiment with Angela Farmer and Victor Van Kooten, philosophy with Douglas Brooks, and life with modern philosophers like Bayo Akomolafe and Stephen Jenkinson.
