Kelly Rose Ward

Kelly Rose is a warm and engaging teacher, with an infectious energy for the practice and her students.  She first tried yoga when a friend needed a “student” to practice on for her teacher training;  it felt good in her body and helped her become more comfortable in her own skin.  Kelly Rose received her 200 hour certification in 2007 and has cultivated a wonderful capacity for working with new students, inviting them to experience what she loves so much about the practice of Ashtanga yoga.  

Kelly Rose is one of the most flexible members of the Yoga on High family; in addition to working with new beginners, she teaches the modified primary, an occasional primary and she’s been known “in a pinch” to sub a Hatha Level 1 or 2 with grace and composure, inviting all of her students to explore the relationship of movement and breath.  

In addition to studying with Martha, Marcia and Linda, Kelly feels particularly blessed to have studied with Tim Miller for 4 years, David Swenson, Maty Ezraty, Lisa Clark and Swi. Ramananda when they have visited Yoga on High.  She began working on her 500 certification in April of 2009 and is excited for the journey. 

Kelly Rose enjoys teaching because it allows her to make the practice accessible and safe for every student.  She fills her classroom with her charismatic energy, hearty laugh and resounding chanting of the invocation.
