Kelly Gilmore

Kelly took her first yoga class in 1997 while living in the Sierra's of California. Being a river guide, kayaker, snowboarder, and outdoor enthusiast, she immediately recognized benefits of the practice. While continuing to study with her teacher and deepening her understanding of the philosophy of yoga she received a 200 RYT in Flow Yoga from White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, CA in 2001. After a year of teaching she was introduced to Anusara Yoga in a workshop with Desiree Rambaugh. In 2004 she received an Anusara Inspired 300 RYT from Sarahjoy Marsh in Portland, OR. Loving both styles, she weaves together a flow that is vigorous, playful and heart opening while utilizing the principles of alignment and honoring all of her teachers. She continues to study with John Friend and all of his amazing certified teachers. Kelly is also certified in Pre-Natal yoga, and a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist. She is excited to live in Asheville and to be a part of such an amazing community.
