Kelly Hardy

Certifications: (RYT 500)

-Hatha Yoga Basic Training

- Advanced Training at the North Carolina School of Yoga.

Kelly began her yoga practice 10 years ago at a local gym. Being inspired by what she learned there, Kelly began to develop her personal practice by practicing at home as well as at other studios. The

physical practice awakened long lingering spiritual questions and she began to explore yoga on an intellectual level. Kelly became more and more dedicated to her yoga practice as she expanded her understanding of the yoga system, reading the works of Donna Farhi and other notable yogis.

In 2006 Kelly decided to bring a level of commitment and structure to her personal studies by participating in her first teacher training. Striving to continue in her spiritual growth, Kelly chose to participate in the 500 hour program held at the North Carolina School of Yoga in 2008, under the guidance of renowned Yogini, Chandra Om. Adhering to the strict guidelines of the program, as well as striving to live up to the high expectations of her teacher, Kelly travels to NC regularly to practice in Raleigh. Chandra Om is the senior disciple of Sri Dharma Mittra, and Kelly joins AJ and Zoe as the only teachers in Hampton Roads to have formally trained in Sri Dharma’s tradition.

We are very happy to welcome Kelly to our teaching family. Her beautiful spirit and kind energy make her a perfect match for our space. Kelly’s classes can be challenging, but are very approachable. Her kind and considerate approach to teaching makes it easy for her students to move farther in their practice without feeling the need to go beyond where they are comfortable.
