Colleen Kelleher

She began her career in the fitness industry while attending college at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Her Biomechanical Engineering degree included many classes in the Exercise Science Department studying the mechanics of the Human body. Studying the body, the health, the nutrition and the abilities always amazed her, but when she began teaching exercise classes, she realized how much she loved showing others how important it is to keep the body moving.Colleen started teaching Hi/Lo impact, Step, Kickboxing, Slide, Muscle Conditioning, and every other fad that came along. About 13 years ago, she discovered Yoga and Pilates and instantly knew that this was the piece that was missing. Exercising is not about trying to burn the most amount of calories as you can, but to feel strong, powerful, graceful and happy about yourself. Practicing Yoga, Colleen found strength, flexibility, balance, grace, core stability and a calming connection between the mind & body and could not wait to share this with others. She has found that the strength and balance you develop on the mat brings you that same strength and balance in your life.Colleen teaches combination classes that integrate all the different types of classes she has taught over the years. She takes pride in her detailed guidance for safety and proper alignment starting with awareness and engagment of the CORE and the importance of the breath. Colleen strives to help others to find the joy she finds in exercise. To find that exercise is not a chore, but a gift we give ourselves. Find how amazing the Human body is! Give yourself strength, grace, balance. Give your mind clarity, peace and happiness!! Honoring ourselves and each other....Namaste!
