Kelly Moore is a seasoned entrepreneur leading individuals, teams and companies into wellness through the practice of yoga. Yoga was the answer and it shifted her mindset, calling her to pay attention to the way she was using her body as well as the way she was living. Yoga introduced Kelly to the connection between the mind, body and heart and quickly became a guiding principle in her life. For four years she consistently practiced and explored different types of yoga while working in a corporate environment. Ultimately, she decided to move deeper into practice with the guidance of a group of excellent, globally-recognized teachers - Jason Crandell, Baron Baptiste, Stephanie Synder, Maty Ezarty and Bikram. With mentorship, extensive training in anatomy, breathwork and meditation, and how awake she felt in her life as a result of her yoga practice: her path became clear. Kelly attended her first training in 2002, launching her career as a yoga teacher.

Kelly’s journey through teaching studio classes, private groups, corporate clients, large event classes with 1000+ students at Wrigley Field and consistently working with individual private clients has led her into a firsthand, dynamic understanding of the human body and spirit. Witnessing her students’ remarkable health improvements inspired her to expand her expertise into the fields of nutrition, prenatal wellness and stress management. Kelly’s experience in teaching continues to affirm her commitment to lifelong learning and advocating for individual and collective wellness in our world.
