Kelley Butwill

Kelley (she/her) learned about yoga nearly 24 years ago after reading Yoga, Youth and Reincarnation. The book inspired her to learn more about yoga and she began to practice regularly. Yoga helped Kelley find the strength to heal after she was diagnosed with an autoimmune issue, and after several years of consistent practice she experienced profound healing. Kelley was drawn to the idea of teaching by a desire to help others find their own inner strength through difficult times.

Kelley trained at The Dhyana Center with Tirza Dawn and later trained in Restorative yoga, focusing on a slower nourishing approach. Kelley emphasizes lots of modifications and listening to your body's internal voice in her classes to allow as much accessibility as possible. Inviting anyone of any experience level, body type, stage of life is most important to Kelley's teaching style.

Kelley lives in Forestville and enjoys spending lots of time with her son Ezra. Of their many adventures in west Sonoma County, beach days and impromptu dance parties are always favorite activities.
