“I first heard about Kelly Brandon's yoga class at a Thanksgiving dinner party! Several of the women at the dinner advised I "had" to give her class a try. Five years later I am indebted to them as Kelly has become my "go to" teacher. Not only has my practice improved but also Kelly's classes are set to rock and roll music, adding a very special atmosphere. Amazingly her classes still have that aura of peace and mindfulness but with a playful musical nuance. I find her classes instructive and joyful. She has that ability of very good teachers to be able to address the needs of beginners as well as intermediates in the same class. I take her Sunday live Vinyasa Warrior class in the park as well as several of her virtual classes. Don't worry: Her virtual classes are also set to music with a Spotify playlist included to follow along! Obviously for me she is a five star instructor! Give her a try!”

“I’ve had the honor to study under Kelly Brandon’s teachings for not only my yoga teacher training but also through her yoga philosophy course. Kelly is knowledgeable, dedicated to true traditional yogic practices, and teaches from the heart. Her passion for yoga philosophy is unmatched and will create the most ideal learning environment. Her impact influenced my life beyond the yoga mat and yoga poses. Kelly made me feel knowledgeable and confident, and she led me on a dedicated yogic path. I often refer to her as my “yoga mom” because not only did she pass down her wisdom but she also still manages to be there for me even after all these years. Embarking on this yogic journey was a life changing experience. I am eternally grateful and strongly recommend that you share your practice/journey with this beautiful teacher and soul.”

“I have been practicing yoga for many years with Kelly Brandon. I always looked forward to coming to her classes in person because of her exuberant personality, her great instruction, and most of all for her adjustments and helpful corrections. When the pandemic started, Kelly made it possible for us to be with her on Zoom which we could do live or on a recording for 48 hours after the class. Her clear instruction and demonstration of the poses make it easy to follow. She even provides a Spotify playlist of the music if you want to hear it better in the comfort of your own home. Whenever she is unable to teach, she provides recordings for us to utilize during the time she is away, which I really appreciate. Kelly is easy to reach and always answers emails or texts and provides support if you need help signing on. Recently Kelly started offering yoga in the park in person, but I was reluctant to participate in the beginning. I felt safer after more people received vaccines, and I tried it and loved the change of being outside under the trees with a lot of space and seeing people in person. She uses a microphone so you can hear well and there is a good speaker for the music. It is a wonderful experience.”

“Kelly took both my teaching skills and my personal practice to a higher level. The way she delivers and shares her knowledge is superb! To experience amazing sequences in a very safe environment, look no further. Kelly is the "Queen of Vinyasa" and a master sequencer. This was my second time taking her training and because of my experience, I made the decision to trust her with my 300 hours Yoga Teacher Training!”

Testimonial — Philosophy — Andrea De La Madriz
“Kelly’s [yoga philosophy] course was engaging, thought provoking, and truly a gift to all participants. Having read the Sutras countless times over my tenure as a yoga teacher, I didn't think I'd relate in a new way with the principles of the text. Surprisingly, Kelly made the content applicable to 21st century life which gave these ancient texts new vibrancy. I highly recommend Kelly’s courses to anyone who wants to dive deeper into the philosophy without such an esoteric presentation.”

“Kelly Brandon’s online classes are equally as challenging, eclectic, and personal as her in-person sessions. Her studio vibe translates seamlessly to zoom — plus students can enjoy the benefits of being able to throw their mats on the porch, or retreat to their bedroom, study, or… kitchen. Online there is no external sweat, no latecomers cramping your space or dispelling the magic. It’s only you and Kelly. Perfect!”

“Since 2016 I have had the pleasure of training and practicing under the direction of Kelly Brandon. Kelly is not just a yoga teacher but a mentor. She remains a constant advisor and guide in my journey of yoga and the journey of so many other students. She is a teacher of teachers. Kelly carries the light with the utmost dignity in a modern world in which philosophy and lineage is easily lost. It is said that the bond between a student and teacher is a chosen partnership, a vow for a lifetime. Kelly embodies this and is a true illuminator. I have the utmost respect and gratitude that Kelly still guides me on my path.”

Testimonial — Classes (Private Instruction) — Maria Elena Costa
“I initially started working with Kelly Brandon when I had shoulder and knee issues and needed to strengthen my weaknesses. She was very knowledgeable in her techniques, patient, encouraging, and careful with my workout. After almost nine years of her privately instructing me in yoga for two to three times a week, I highly recommend Kelly for her knowledge, experience, punctuality, reliability, and discretion. She is very professional, both in her presentation and her preparation. I now love yoga and so do my granddaughters who are 15 & 17 and benefit much from her instruction. I could not ask for a better yoga instructor!”
