kelli campbell headshot 1KELLI CAMPBELL, RYT Kelli Campbell likes to share and teach the physical and alignment aspects of the practice and strongly believes that yoga is as much about the poses (asanas) as it is about mindfulness and the breath.  After practicing and studying yoga for numerous years, she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Kimberlee Orenstein. She credits many of her teachers, Katie Louvat, Ada Lusardi, Kimberly Allcock, and Denise Barclay for her expanded education in Chakras, Buddha Dharma and Anatomy. Kelli believes Yoga to be a wonderful anecdote to daily stress and especially in the trying times we are living.  She believes yoga can be a thread in uniting us back to ourselves and to each other. She loves teaching and sharing in a light and playful way and hopes you’ll join her!

Monica_Ganesha_900x900

MONICA LIMON, Ayurvedic Health Counselor and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist (AYT, E-RYT500, YACEP)
Monica is passionate about guiding others on their healing journeys through the wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga. Her path began in 2010 during her first Yoga Teacher Training, where she discovered the profound connection between Ayurveda’s holistic approach to health and Yoga’s ability to heal the mind. Seeking balance in her own life, she worked with Ayurvedic practitioners to align her dosha, integrate herbal remedies, and embrace daily self-care rituals like Abhyanga (self-massage). What started as a personal journey soon became a lifelong path of learning and teaching. As a graduate of the California College of Ayurveda, Monica dedicates her time to empower others to cultivate vitality, balance, and deep self-awareness through Ayurveda, Yoga, and intentional living.

Everyday on the mat is different, and our practice should reflect that. Ani creates an inclusive environment for all people— a safe space, but not necessarily a serious one.
