 Kelly Ashton Todd is a 500-hour RYT certified yoga teacher with over twenty years of practice and 15 years of teaching. She approaches yoga as a living, evolving dialogue between the body and mind - one that asks us to listen more closely, move more honestly, and reconnect with what feels true.

Her classes are fluid, dynamic, and exploratory, often weaving around the mat, into space, and toward the wall. Drawing from her background in dance and physical theater, she invites students to move beyond prescribed shapes and into a more intuitive, embodied experience. Her classes ask you to find the edges of yourself - your breath and your movement.

Through the integration of harmonium and voice, Kelly creates an atmosphere that is both grounding and expansive - where sound, breath, and movement meet. Her teaching holds space for both challenge and softness, for play and depth.

Expect to laugh, to be surprised, to build strength, and to uncover new pathways within your body. Above all, her work is an invitation - to return to yourself.
