“I just tell the truth and telling the truth is crazy in a world full of lies.”
—Kanye West
Kelly, a Durham native, took her first yoga class in high school during a UNC Field Hockey camp where the next day she was the most sore she had ever been. She was always one of those "I'm not flexible enough to ever do yoga." She took her second class in New Zealand during her study abroad semester when her roommate recommended it to help with running. It wasn't until the start of 2021 when she started practicing yoga consistently during the second semester of her senior year in college at University of South Carolina (Go Cocks!). Kelly loved the fitness aspect of yoga and the mental clarity it brought to her life. She found Midtown Yoga in summer of 2021 and has fallen in love with the practice, the wonderful shared community, and the killer classes from various instructors. The space quickly became somewhere that felt like home, somewhere that she could come to during the challenging times to let sh*t go, and somewhere she could celebrate the good. She took Yoga Teacher Training at Midtown in Spring of 2025 and is excited to expand her practice in both teaching and being a student! In her free time you can catch her taking photos, going for a run, hanging out with friends, or anything that involves being active.
