The Centered Room

Fantastic experience: My body and mind feels so good after a class. This isn't like most yoga classes, but you still stretch the body. Still learning about it's power, but it's helping me to listen to my body in a deeper way than I have before. And Kelly is delightful, really worth a try :)

Fantastic experience: I have had the good fortune to know Kelly for almost 20 years, since she opened her general yoga studio and began teaching in Loburn. At the time, I was not quite 50 years old and I had plenty of energy and stamina, so classic yoga was great. Lots of strength-building, balance and stretching. I loved it! Along the way I have had a few health issues - including cancer and lasting complications from its necessary treatments, as well as a total knee replacement with its complications - neuropathy in one foot and ongoing problems with the other knee. Enter Somatics, a whole new type of yoga which had been able to begin the reversal process of what I feared would just be my future - nagging lower back, pain in my "good" knee, strange muscle problems in other parts of my body. Somatics is very hard to explain, and even more difficult to express how simple it is and yet produces profound effects. Kelly and I have worked together one-on-one to assess my body's balance issues, areas of pain and areas of comfort. Through very small movements I can make with ease, my brain is being retrained to then reprogram my challenging areas and issues. I enjoy attending the Somatics classes because it's wonderful to share such a beautiful experience with others in the room. But I have REALLY found great value in working individually with Kelly to assess and address my challenges. She is very knowledgeable about the human body, and her personal demeanor is the loveliest you can ever find. I very highly recommend anything offered at The Centered Room, but above all, the Somatics programs are not to be missed! Kate Blickle
