Carrie and Stacey Ward Kelly moved to the Hudson Valley in 2005 to establish a yoga art studio in Stacey's hometown of
Beacon NY.  While a physical studio is not yet on the horizon, this website is our collaborative effort to provide space for
people to explore their creativity and spirituality in classes, workshops and retreats.

Carrie Ward Kelly
Certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor

Carrie Ward Kelly is a certified Kundalini yoga instructor who has been practicing yoga for over 7 years.  Carrie has studied under
a variety of teachers, including Dr. Hari Simran Singh Khalsa, Gururattan Kaur Khalsa, Ph.D., and Doreen Foxwell, founder of The
Children’s School of Yoga.  Carrie is also studying Andean Shamanic practices with Eileen O’Hare and is learning spiritual rituals
of the Q’ero of Peru.  Carrie currently teaches adult and children’s yoga throughout the Hudson Valley.

Kundalini Yoga is a powerful tool for people to get in touch with their bodies, learn to breathe, and gain a level of deep meditation
and relaxation and I am excited to be able to share this technology with others.  As an instructor, my philosophy of teaching is that
anyone can do yoga and benefit – regardless of age, body type, disability, or fitness level.  My goal is to make everyone feel
welcome and encouraged to do what they can while honoring the limits of their bodies.
