Energy is a powerful thing. We have thousands of

Energy is a powerful thing.
We have thousands of energy centers throughout the body, which is what allows us to actually “feel the energy” of another person.
It’s the same sensation you experience when you stand out under the warm sun and feel an actual lift in your spirit.
Energy is a powerful thing.
It can be nurtured and developed, but it can also be depleted and lost.
Without going into the details of the extreme trauma that I experienced at the hands of someone else from 2014-2018, I can tell you that for those years (even though I was on my yoga mat almost daily), I lost my connection to my energy.
I lost the vitality of my existence and a connection to who I was.
But on December 22, 2018, I said no more. I started doing things for myself to nurture and develop the energy center that lives in our solar plexus area of our bodies … the same energy associated with our core.
I knew that if I developed my core strength from the inside out, I would regain what had been taken from me.
I committed then and there that my Sunrise Yoga classes would be places to instill, foster, and reinstate life to that energy center for whomever came to my classes.
I plan Sunrise classes to ignite the fire WITHIN so that no matter trauma life puts on our path that day or in the days to come, we face it with confidence and self-worth and strength and vigor.
I don’t want anyone to ever feel that they are victims of life the way that I felt for those 4 years. No one deserves that, and no one should have to live that.Ever.
We empower our core to empower our lives which then empowers our belief in the value we each have.
I taught headstand today in class, but honestly, no I didn’t. I taught CORE STRENGTH in class today which then made a posture like headstand possible, which then made that after yoga glow of joy and vitality possible.
Yoga reminds me to choose ME. And I opened @thebridgeyogabcs in 2021 so that others could find pathways to choose themselves, in whatever way that looks like. #theyogimomo #manipurachakra #thepranayamagroup #yogaincollegestation

Thich Nhat Hahn encouraged us to “walk as if you

Thich Nhat Hahn encouraged us to “walk as if your feet are kissing our earth”.
In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali challenged us to live a life grounded in AHIMSA, the idea of causing no harm in thought, word, or action.
And there are numerous scriptures in the Bible that remind us that we are stewards of the earth, & we have a responsibility to care for it.
So what does that look like in our contemporary society?
It really is quite simple. You start with one thing.
You don’t have to sell your car, refrain from buying anything in a plastic container, & add solar panels all over the roof of your house in order to be a good steward of this earth we’ve been given. You’d be overwhelmed & quit before you ever started.
Truly. You start with ONE thing.
For us, composting our “trash” became our one thing a few years ago. So now, every day, the fruits, veggies, egg shells, coffee grounds, & other compostable things that we would have normally thrown in the trash can go into our kitchen compost bin.
And then each evening, that bin is emptied into our large compost bin next to our garden.
Over time, this amazing process produces some of the best organic, worm-blessed soil you’ve ever seen!
We add that to our raised garden beds in late winter & “kiss” our part of the earth, preparing it to grow veggies that will last us all summer.
And beyond the earth impact, I can’t begin to describe for you the contentment I feel each day tending to our “kissed” portion of the earth.
And beyond that, I most definitely can’t begin to describe the joy I feel each day that I get to go out “ “harvest” my work.
The salads I grow taste so much better than anything I could get in the store.
The veggies I cook have a much sweeter aroma than any I could get in the store.
And the overwhelming peace I feel in my heart about how we are actively kissing our part of the earth as much as we can for our grandchildren is worth every bit of effort or work that it takes to do it.
After a while, these “starting small” acts become second nature. Then you realize, you’re ready to add one more thing!
But that’s a message for another day. #composting101 #stewardsoftheland

Unfiltered and unashamed. I lovingly embrace who I am and how I look EVERY SINGLE DAY. If you struggle with that concept, I’d so love to chat. Life is too short and too amazing to live it from a place of criticism. #lovingkindness #lovewhoyouare #iamenough #unfiltered #theyogimomo #thepranayamagroup #thebridgeyogabcs

“In giving birth to our babies, we may find that

“In giving birth to our babies, we may find that we give birth to new possibilities within ourselves.” – Myla and Jon Kabat-Zinn
“Babies are bits of star-dust blown from the hand of God. Lucky the woman who knows the pangs of birth for she has held a star.” – Larry Barretto
“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.” – Maya Angelou
“Kids don’t stay with you if you do it right. It’s the one job where, the better you are, the more surely you won’t be needed in the long run.” – Barbara Kingsolver
My own mom has been gone for ten years, but no matter how many years separate us physically, I’ll always feel the deepest gratitude for a young scared 16-year old girl, in a close-minded and judgmental community, who CHOSE to bring me into this world.
Who chose to give me a life that I’m so very blessed to live every single day. #mothersday #amotherslove #gratitudeforlife #likemotherlikedaughter

Below the surface of this lake is lots of murky da

Below the surface of this lake is lots of murky dark water … the kind with lots of mud, where catfish like to hang out.
However, when you look at the surface of the lake, you don’t really see the murkiness or the mud.
You just see this calm, clear surface where all this amazing vegetation is growing and flourishing.
You see rays of sunlight brightening the surface, bringing life to the plants, and penetrating beneath the surface toward the mud and the murkiness.
Today John and I hiked the park where this lovely, yucky lake is, and although I love hiking through the forest-canopied trails, I found myself so drawn to this body of water.
I believe it’s because this lake is my life. And I’d be willing to bet, it’s yours too.
My 53-year old story has so very many connections to the mud. And the murkiness.
But the gift that yoga has given me for so many years is to keep being drawn to the light— represented here by the surface of the pond, and in me, represented by who I am in spite of/because of my story, my mud.
The mud is still there. Sometimes it pulls me back down into the awful self talk that wants me to doubt that I deserve a life of peace and calm and light.
But I choose to let MY light penetrate MY surface, revealing MY mud, just as the sun does to this pond, allowing growth and renewal to come from the mud and from the murk.
As you can visibly see on my face, even with all the MUD in my story, I still feel JOY every single day.
I’m so thankful for a universe filled with nature to remind me of the important things.
My favorite words from Thich Nhat Hahn say, “No mud, no lotus”.
I think he’d be ok with me modifying his quote just a bit, in order to capture my story.
“No mud, no joy.
No mud, no gratitude.
No mud, no peace. “ (Kelli)
I embrace my mud so that every single day, I can also embrace my joy, my gratitude, and my peace.
And I’d love so very much to help you do the same. #nomudnolotus #embracethemud #yogawithkelli #thebridgeyogabcs #theyogimomo #thepranayamagroup #holisticcoaching

Yoga for every BODY. Body positive yoga. Yoga

Yoga for every BODY.
Body positive yoga.
Yoga of love and acceptance for me.
Yoga that honors where I am and who I am today.
Inclusive yoga.
Yoga that strengthens and transforms me from the inside out.
That’s the kind of yoga I believe in, the kind I teach, and the kind we offer @thebridgeyogabcs
I’ll never be that girl whose magazine image I used to hang my refrigerator door in the 80s, praying her skinny body would keep me from opening the door to get a snack.
And I am 100% great with that.
I love myself COMPLETELY.
I have about 30 extra pounds that menopause has determined are mine to bear right now.
I have cellulite all over my incredibly strong and powerful legs.
And I have a yoga practice that I love and honor and that loves and honors me back.
If you end up in a yoga space that doesn’t make you — as you are right now — feel honored and celebrated and valued, get in your car and drive away. Quickly.
Yoga is for me. And I promise you that it IS for you, too. #yogaincollegestation #theyogimomo #yogawithkelli #inclusiveyoga #yogaforallbodies
