TEACHERS
Kelly Kasper, Teacher
Kelly Kasper, MD, RYT-500 I began this life-long journey after experiencing a lower back injury in 2006. Luckily, a yoga studio had just opened down the street. After just the first practice, I was amazed by the restorative and transformative benefits to the physical body. Through a regular practice, I was overwhelmed by the restorative and transformative benefits to the mind and spirit. I was drawn to yoga teacher training to deepen my own practice with no intention of actually teaching. After substituting for a class at the local yoga studio, I realized that I had to share this powerful gift of yoga with others. In 2007, I completed my 200-hour teacher training at Cityoga, Indianapolis, IN. I returned to teaching yoga for a year and still felt that a dimension was missing from my practice as well as my teaching. I returned to teacher training and completed my 500-hour in 2010 at Cityoga, Indianapolis, IN. As a full-time wife, mother of two children, and practicing obstetrician-gynecologist, I understand the pressures and time constraints placed on individuals in our society. Yoga allows me to quiet my mind, be present and be aware. Through this awareness, I am able to develop a stronger connection to myself and others.
