Update: Registered Yoga Teacher Certification!

On September 7, 2021, Kailey Jones became an RYT-200 Certified Yoga Teacher from the Yoga & Ayurveda Center.

Yogic Background

Kailey began her yoga practice in 2018 as a way to improve her dance flexibility and mobility, while simultaneously centering her mind. Unaware that yoga would be the key to unlocking her most elevated and healthy self, Kailey quickly began to explore each yogic divinity and discovered her passion for the practice as a whole.

Kailey as a Yoga Teacher

With her foundation in dance and music, Kailey's classes heavily integrate musicality into flow transitions, as well as cardio and tempo into each practice. Considering Kailey's acting training roots itself heavily in Fitzmaurice Voicework, which incorporates aspects of meditation and deep stretching yoga poses (asanas), her classes are truly a full experience for the mind, body, and spirit.

Gratitude

Kailey is beyond grateful for the journey that her yoga practice has led her on , and would like to specifically extend her appreciation to her mentor Steph Ball-Mitchell from the Yoga & Ayurveda Center, as well as to each of her friends who have encouraged her journey, supported her practice, or even taken one of her classes. Now continuing her practice as a Registered Yoga Teacher, Kailey cannot wait to touch the hearts and minds of her future students as former teachers have influenced her.
