"Keeley has been a breath of fresh air."

Working with Keeley has been a real blessing for me. When I began yoga (with Keeley) I was battling severe depression and anxiety from a recent cancer diagnosis. I was having a hard time finding my "new normal" and living with the lasting side effects. My yoga practice has been an outlet to help me relax and work through all of my emotions. Keeley has been so kind and attentive, tailoring my practice specifically for me. Keeley Michael Yoga encompasses the whole mind, body, and spirit and I can honestly say I would not have been able to make it this far on my own. No matter how bad my day might be going, I always feel better after my practice with Keeley. When my anxiety becomes overwhelming yoga with Keeley has been a breath of fresh air.

"Keeley helps make yoga accessible to anyone."

A warm, sweet breath of fresh air—that’s Keeley! I’ve always thought of breathing as simply an involuntary act that is part of sustaining life—a fundamental process. What I am discovering through my yoga sessions is a wonderful new awareness and deep appreciation of the mind and body connection between breath and movement that helps restore, energize and heal. Patient, encouraging, always positive, Keeley delights in helping clients progress to reach their goals. A skilled listener, adept at creating individualized practices, Keeley helps make yoga accessible to anyone interested in developing a personalized practice. Whether explored as an adjunct to physical therapy, an alternative to pain and stress relief, a way to refresh confidence, or energize emotional and spiritual well-being, Keeley uses the art of yoga to help others heal. It’s been my privilege as president and co-founder of Dan’s House of Hope, an organization supporting young adults battling cancer to witness the transformative work Keeley accomplishes. Thank you, Keeley. Namaste.

"This individualized approach was just what I needed."

Keeley and her yoga were such positive influences while I was going through one of the hardest times of my life. I was displaced 900 miles from home for cancer treatment for two long months, which was physically and emotionally exhausting. I knew that I needed something to help me on this journey. Enter Keeley. This individualized approach was just what I needed! Keeley was able to target my stress and the lower back pain I had been struggling with for years! She developed not one, but two unique practices for me that I did every day, and am still doing regularly now. Plus, I feel that I made a friend while I was there.
She is genuine, kind, and passionate, and her approach was just what the doctor ordered! Yoga (with Keeley) has relieved my pain, helped me become more aware of my body, and given me a peace I didn't know I had before! I do my practice almost daily before my quiet time, and I love my new routine. Thank you, Keeley!

"Yoga will change your life."

Yoga Will Change Your Life. Keeley Michael is passionate about yoga! Working with her has been a tremendous life-changing experience. Her warmth and kindness sets a positive tone for all of our yoga sessions. When I began yoga (with Keeley) in February 2016, I was dealing with hives and itchy skin. Some nights I would need an ice pack to be able to fall asleep. The week I began practicing the routine that Keeley created for me, I did not need an ice pack to sleep, and I did not get a single hive that whole week! This result has held up over time. In fact, if I skip my yoga routine for more than three days, my hives come back. Yoga has had a mental benefit for me as well—I am less anxious. Keeley’s non-judgmental demeanor makes our individual yoga sessions feel safe.

"She goes at my pace."

I didn’t have much experience with yoga, but I was willing to try yoga with Keeley because she emphasized it was individualized. I only wanted to commit ten minutes a day to yoga, so she came up with a practice that was only ten minutes long. She never tries to push me to make the routine longer. The few times I did yoga in the past, it always felt like a chore, but my ten minute practice doesn’t feel like a chore. It is just part of my day. She doesn’t push me too far out of my comfort zone; she goes at my pace. Keeley helps me improve my practice, but she always says “Try this,” or “Let’s try that,” and if it doesn’t work, she doesn’t pressure me. Keeley always checks in with me on how my practice is working, and she will work with me to change whatever is not working.

"Alleviating muscle soreness to better sleeping habits."

I'm a beginner to Yoga. I consider Yoga now as a bridge from my physical reality to the spiritual. Stretching and strengthening, and at the same time calm and relaxing. I was given a customized yoga practice depending on what my goals are. It has been the missing piece of the puzzle. The therapeutic effects of yoga from alleviating muscle soreness to better sleeping habits definitely improves my quality of life! I always look forward to my weekly Yoga classes with Keeley. Thanks for everything. You’re the best!

"Working with Keeley brought authenticity and peace to my life."

Before meeting Keeley, I had quietly dreamed of living my purpose and struggled to build a bridge between it and the life I was living. The space she created for me in our first few conversations allowed me to be open and honest, out loud, for the first time. Working with Keeley one-on-one brought authenticity and peace to my life. Her vision and goal coaching sessions cleared away the distractions and allowed me to get present to my thoughts, feelings and actions surrounding my purpose. Through her, I have given a voice to my vision and created my path for living loud and in color.

"She opened up a window of possibility I didn't see for myself."

Keeley's energy is one of the most calming and safe spaces I have ever known. With her, I feel free to say what I feel and be who I am. Our first goal coaching session was inspiring. She has a way of leading the conversation with inquiry and space that allows you to dig deep. She opened up a window of possibility and perspective I didn't see for myself. Anyone who meets Keeley can feel the love she radiates for others. She has been one of the greatest teachers in my life."

"Keeley helped make yoga a powerful tool for self care."

I found Keeley during a critical time in my life when it felt like everything was falling apart and not any place I could turn. In our first meeting together she listened with deep compassion and I immediately felt safe and hopeful that if I did the work she suggested I would learn to face my life with new eyes. Keeley used her deep knowledge of yoga asanas and breath work and built a personalized practice that I could take home, making herself always available for questions in between our sessions. I now can turn to my own practice for guidance and physical, emotional, and psychological renewal. Though I've been practicing yoga for 35 years, Keeley helped to make it a fresher and more powerful tool for self care.
