Try to love everything that gets in your way:
the Chinese women in flowered bathing caps
murmuring together in Mandarin, doing leg exercises in your lane
while you execute thirty-six furious laps,
one for every item on your to-do list.
The heavy-bellied man who goes thrashing through the water
like a horse with a harpoon stuck in its side,
whose breathless tsunamis rock you from your course.
Teachers all.

excerpt:
Because even the Word Obstacle is an Obstacle

Have you met Kellie Finn, the creator and lead instructor of Yoga:LiveIt? You should. She's the sunlight through the trees, the cool breeze across your back on a hot day.

Kellie's been studying, exploring and living the philosophies of yoga for 25 years. 25 years!!! And teaching for 15 years. 15 years!!!

She first met yoga in 1991. Between a volunteer stint and residency at Omega Institute and Kripalu Center, respectively, Kellie explored various yoga traditions including Kundalini, Ashtanga, Pattabhi Jois, and Iyengar. She has also immersed herself in the study of Anusara.

In the midst of all this, Kellie discovered the power of community as a volunteer through Hands on Atlanta in Georgia, a company that plugs folks into volunteer opportunities around the city. HOA had a huge impact on her vision for community that holds what all people can give each other through communication, curiosity, and action — regardless of race, class, or age.

These decades shaped Kellie's approach to yoga — and how she sees yoga existing in the world. She sees yoga not simply as a path to self-knowledge and growth, but as a recognition that each of us has a responsibility to integrate ourselves into, and enhance, the world at large.

No matter where we’ve come from or what we’ve survived, Kellie believes, we have the ability to transmute our experiences into an offering — into our our piece of the giant puzzle that is the world.

The tools of yoga help us in this great, communal artistry. They help us integrate our experiences. They help us identify the curves, colors, textures, and placement that is our offering, our piece. They help us live so that our pain and our joy may enhance our world.

Currently Kellie teaches weekly classes, workshops, and educational series. She specializes in working one-on-one with individuals to employ curiosity, acceptance, self advocacy, and empowerment in order to break patterns of disassociation, destructive behavior choices, and limited agency perceptions associated with severe trauma.

In addition to Yoga:LiveIt!, Kellie co-created Shri 200-hour YTT and operates Yoga Eastworks in Easthampton, MA. She earned her B.A. in Performance Art from Agnes Scott College, and is a Maryland University of Integrative Health graduate with an M.S. in Yoga Therapy.

Above all, Kellie feels grinningly thankful for all the teachers and peers she’s studied with both on and off the mat. She is committed to the sweetness of being in process and to the art of thriving. She is immensely grateful for New England living, family, friends, sunshine, good jokes, moon gazing, night walks, ocean breezes, lingering hugs, fresh vegetables, road trips, adverbs, and an ever-growing boot collection.

Come study, learn, and transform your life into beautiful offerings with Kellie (and our other amazing instructors) at Yoga:LiveIt! Our next session starts January 2017.

"My first class with Kellie Finn, I knew I was in the right place. That first downward facing dog was difficult. I wondered why I thought I could do this yoga thing. I knew, though, that I was with the right person.
Kellie is a gift teacher who is totally supportive and challenging at the same time. I quickly realized that Kellie had a better sense of my body than I did and slowly relaxed my self-imposed restrictions and accepted her guidance. I always say that Kellie opened so many doors for me, and had to push me through most of them as I was saying no, I don’t think I can do this! And do it I did. My unnecessary restrictions gave way to a pleasure in exploration, moving more deeply into a pose with each practice.
I came into a freedom that was new for me. My relationship with my body changed as I gained more and more physical confidence and from that, a psychological confidence. Kellie is an incredibly generous and gifted teacher whose classes are filled with so many aspects that serve only to enrich your life. There is always, in Kellie’s classes, a sense of replenishment; a wonderfully creative series of poses that bring you to a place of newness, of sustenance, of light. And there is always an aha moment when something, something that I may not have been aware of, something that has been elusive, comes in focus for me.
Kellie’s classes have been a powerful place for me and I am ever thankful for her abundant gifts and her generous spirit. ~ ED

My overall reaction to the presidential debate this past Monday was: I want a deeper conversation. With everything that is going on in the world today, I want the people who are representing me for this country to engage in a deeper conversation. I can't control the candidacy, but I can encourage a deeper conversation of living
HERE
NOW
In the community I live in. This is the crux of Yoga:LiveIt. A communal dive into how we define integrity, responsibility, accountability, community, ethical conflict, and spiritual development as individuals, as communities, and ultimately as a nation. Come take the conversation of your life deeper.. As long as we are being breathed alive, we have the opportunity for more. Come find more. Program starts this November (and what a great balance to election month!!) www.yogaliveit.com
