Elyssa Kemper is passionate learner and teacher who believes everyone should have access to yoga. She first found yoga when she was just 13 years old in a class at her local gym and attended every week to spend more time with her mom. She has been practicing yoga ever since as a way to nurture her body and spirit. She earned her 200-hour teacher training certification in 2022 from Zen Yoga Garage and subsequently completed the ZYG Group Apprentice Program. She believes yoga is foundational for connecting our minds to our bodies and connecting ourselves to the world around us. She hopes to create a safe, joyful and expressive class environment, and to aid children of all ages in developing compassion for themselves and others through movement.
