The last of Charleston County Parks’ popular Starlight Yoga series is at Wannamaker County Park Nov. 6, 6:30 pm. This year’s Starlight Yoga series will be hosted by Kelly-Jean. Kelly-Jean is a certified Rolfer who has been teaching yoga and contemplative movement for almost two decades. From 2012 until 2020 she taught weekly classes, led teacher trainings, and maintained a private Rolfing practice at her brick and mortar studio, Mission Yoga. During that period she also founded Sarayana Yoga, a system of Hatha Yoga that Synthesizes TCM, Taoism, and Rolfing concepts. In her yoga classes, Kelly intuitively weaves elements of Yin, Vinyasa, and experimental movement into a seamless exploration of humanness that leads to greater somatic intelligence. She is an inspired storyteller known for her humor and patient commitment to students. As a Rolfer, she finds personal ways to help facilitate growth and freedom in each client’s body/mind through structural body work as well as movement exploration.
