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. Since April, 2006 this has also been
the site home for the Beacon Art Salon.

Carrie Ward Kelly
Certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor
Carrie Ward Kelly is a certified Kundalini yoga instructor and Regional Yoga Director for the Hudson Valley Gold's Gyms. 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 earth-honoring practices and spiritual rituals of the
Q’ero peoples of Peru with teacher Eileen O’Hare . Carrie currently teaches adult 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.
