Heart-Wise Living: Yoga in Action

WHAT IS HEART-WISE LIVING?

The mind, though powerful, can often act as a blunt tool, blocking us from truly achieving a fulfilling, purpose-driven life. Unlike the heart, which naturally aligns with our true self, the mind is shaped by social, economic, academic, familial, and political beliefs and systems. These layers of conditioning can cause us to apply outdated programs long past our upbringing, leading to feelings of disconnection from our authentic self, our purpose, and a sense of meaning in life. This is where "heart-centered living" transforms our experience. By tuning into the wisdom of the heart, we can foster a deeper, more authentic connection with ourselves and others and align with a life filled with purpose, fulfillment, and joy.

In this transformative program, you'll discover how to connect deeply with your heart's wisdom and unlock the path to a more authentic, fulfilling life. First, you'll learn techniques to truly hear and connect with your heart, allowing you to understand its guidance on a profound level. Next, you’ll identify and release the blocks that prevent you from following your heart’s intuition. Through building self-awareness and embodying presence, you'll uncover subtle patterns, hidden shadows, and unresolved traumas that weigh on your heart. Finally, you'll gain the skills to transition into a heart-centered life, aligned with purpose, clarity, and inner peace.

This program offers a structured learning experience with short, engaging lectures and insightful readings, practical techniques, dedicated office hours, partner-based practice sessions, and complementary homework assignments—all designed to support and enhance your progress. Each element works together to provide a comprehensive, hands-on approach to deepen your understanding and ensure lasting results.

Rooted in Eastern philosophy, shamanic practices, spiritual coaching, and energy medicine, this program is designed to guide participants toward a heart-centered approach to well-being.

Program Testimonials:

“Kelly’s program provided many tools and theories that would be accessible to a wide range of practitioners seeking heart-opening and intuition development. There was no one size fits all approach, instead her guidance provided each unique being with ways to access their heart and live more in tune with their soul and the universal consciousness. From scientifically proven methods, embodiment and meditation techniques, to Shamanic practices, the course was full of meaningful, deeply researched and collated material. For anyone who is curious about their heart and intuition, maybe those who are struggling with Western healing modalities being enough, Kelly’s teachings and this course in particular have given more perspective and answers than I’ve ever received on my own long healing journey.” —Feb 2023 Participant

“I really loved this program because it made me question my way of being and showed me how much more powerful it would be if I lived from a heart space. I especially found the modules on forgiveness and living from my values. The content was rich and reflective. I found connecting with like minded souls in a community powerful. Kelly is a master teacher and I am grateful that I had an opportunity to sign up for this course.” —Feb 2023 Participant
