Kelly A. Kuder – (200 E-RYT) has practiced various styles of yoga over the past 14 years and never imagined the positive impact it would have on her life. "When I found yoga after decades as a professional dancer, especially Aerial Yoga, I was hooked. I love how yoga grounds me and Aerial Yoga lightens me bringing me to a place balance. Having the ability to share the gift of yoga and aerial yoga with my students is such a blessing.” Kelly is certified with the American Council on Exercise, a Certified Holistic Wellness Coach and holds a Masters Degree in Dance. If you can’t find Kelly at the Yoga studio, she is most likely at home managing over 15 free outreach dance programs in the Washington, DC and Chicago region. She has the great thrill and honor as working as Regional Manager for the DEA Youth Dance Program.
