Kelly Yanek

She has always been interested in meditation and contemplation outdoors and in nature. More recently, yoga took a front seat through her training for a marathon. The combination of yoga, meditation, and race training, made accomplishing her goals possible. It was through that process that Kelly wanted to know even more about the practice of yoga and to share this practice with others. She completed her RYT200 teaching certification through Fitness Yoga Studios in the spring of 2020. This training honed her practice with a deeper understanding of the philosophy and history of yoga while providing extensive study of the physiology of the poses (asanas) and breathing (pranayama). Off the mat, Kelly enjoys spending time outdoors with her family, traveling, hiking, going to the beach or just playing in the yard. She has a PsyD in school psychology and co-founded Wellness Outside the Box, a mental health practice grounded in nature and adventure experiences. She looks forward sharing yoga with her students and clients. Namaste! Kelly Yanek is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS).
