About J Kelley (they/them)

After celebrating over seven years of practice, J is thrilled to be stepping into the role of yoga steward and guide as a proud graduate of the School of Yoga and Somatics at the BYMC.

They strive to co-create a playful but deliberate container to explore yoga asana, pranayama, and philosophy in community. J invites their fellow practitioners of all experience levels and abilities to embrace the support they need as we connect breath to movement while exploring challenging shapes together.

Your breath is a tool you can use to create more space in the body for prana, your life force, to flow more freely, helping ease physical tension, balance your nervous system, and quiet the mind. J is a firm believer in the power of yoga to help us see ourselves in each other more clearly, and teach us how to show up more ethically in our interconnected world. Practicing with them is an opportunity to slow down, tune into yourself, and embrace the transformative possibilities of a beautiful and ancient South Asian science and wisdom tradition.
