Kelsey Ryan | Studio Director

Why I teach:

I teach to share the practice that has transformed my life. I love alignment-based classes and creating challenging, thoughtful sequences that create the space to step out of the everyday and into presence. My classes are intentional and creative, while inviting you to reconnect to something bigger on your mat.

Why I practice:

I practice to remind myself of who I am, change my perspective, and have a space where optimization isn’t the main goal.

What OHY means to me:

I came to the very first class at OHY and haven’t stopped coming since. I consider it my first home in Steamboat. It’s where I was certified as a teacher, taught my first class, and dove deep into a lifelong practice. I’m beyond grateful I get to co-create it to be a space where your name is known, and we notice when you’re not around.

What's something unexpected yoga has taught you?

How to step out of seeing the world in black and white and embrace the gray.
