GBTT Director
Kelly Golden (ERYT) has been a student and practitioner of yoga for over fifteen years, and through the exploration of the physical and philosophical practices, yoga has touched every aspect of her life in a positive way. She has been teaching and sharing yoga for over seven years, infusing her teaching with the passion and joy that she has for the practice of yoga, both on and off the mat. In asana practice, Kelly pays close attention to the work of the body (anatomy and physiology), as well as the more subtle work of the mind and spirit as embodied by the individual student. In her sharing of yoga, she strives to inspire in others the peace, well being, balance, harmony, and understanding that yoga has brought to her own life. Kelly is currently working toward her 500 hour Para Yoga teaching certification. She teaches weekly classes in Boone, NC, co-directs Neighborhood Yoga Teacher Training, writes for Yoga Basics, leads yoga retreats all over the world, and is the mother of two beautiful daughters.
