Keely and I met at our 200 hour vinyasa yoga teacher training about a year and a half ago. In a room of 13+ people, all quite different and at the same time alike, we gravitated towards each other very fluidly. We simply started sitting next to each other in class. There wasn’t really anything in particular, but I can only assume we enjoyed each other’s energy. During those four intensive months of training and studying our friendship solidified quite beautifully and unexpectedly. We studied yoga together, practiced yoga together, created classes together, brainstormed together, and in some occasions, cried together. So when she inquired about co-creating yoga portraits I was all over it!

As it is not my place to disclose those intimate sequential moments that made Keely who she is today, I can only tell you that the more I learned the intricacies of her life the more she became one of my life’s  teachers [just by being herself]. This badass woman has gone through hell and back with so much grace. She is one of the few people I know that has gone through chaos in a sane state. There is this certain kind of vibrancy that radiates within and out of her constantly. She doesn’t tread life cautiously, but fearlessly. There isn’t too big or small of a task that she cannot handle.

An animal lover with propensity to adopt ALL stray animals, including possums, I can only describe her with one word: FREEDOM. Keely seeks to be free. Free of labels, of her past, of expectations, of fears, of limitations. She simply seeks to be and to exist no matter what her life turns out to be.

I hope you all enjoy our visual creations in the form of yoga portraits as much we did while bringing the to life.

Bests of energies,
