Kelly Barnett

Kelly’s yoga journey began in 2008, at a time when the demands of being a primary school teacher left her feeling stressed and anxious. A naturopath suggested she try yoga, and what began as a simple recommendation soon became something much deeper. A practice that continues to nourish, support, and inspire her many years later. In 2019, Kelly made the pilgrimage to Rishikesh, undertaking her first 200-hour training in Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga. Since then, she has completed over 400 additional hours of training in Advanced Yoga Sequencing, Yin Yoga, Kids Yoga, and Kids Yoga Therapy, and most recently studied with Sri Dharma Mittra in New York City. Her classes offer a beautiful balance of strength and softness, inviting students on a journey back home to themselves. You can expect thoughtful sequencing, moments of pranayama (breath), mindfulness, meditation, a touch of playfulness, some laughter along the way, and a deeply soothing savasana to close. She brings warmth and lightness to her classes, creating a space where students can explore their practice without pressure or expectation. Her hope is that through movement, breathwork, mindfulness and meditation, you feel a little brighter, a little taller, and a whole lot more relaxed. As Kelly beautifully puts it, “Yoga is a journey back home to yourself." Teachers are guides, but you are your greatest teacher. She also shares her passion with younger generations through her children’s yoga programs.
