Aware Yoga - Kellie Dearman, Instructor

INSTRUCTOR

My name is Kellie Dearman and I am a certified Still Point Yoga Instructor (200-hour course). I've been practicing yoga for 8 years and began teaching in 2005. I began doing yoga because I was looking for a way to incorporate exercise into my life, and wanted something that I would be able to keep at for the rest of my life. Besides keeping me limber and strong, my own practice is always deepening as I learn and incorporate more of this very personal spiritual practice into my own life. Yoga is helping me to develop a sense of inner peace that I can draw on when I need to. One small benefit is that I am definitely less-stressed and more able to deal calmly with things (well, most things!) as they arise.

I love teaching yoga and look forward to building a strong yoga community in Stirling. I also teach seniors yoga at the Belleville Recreation Centre on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and offer lunchtime classes at the Trenton Base.

Besides teaching yoga, my husband and I are the owners and operators of Julia's Womens Wear, a ladies wear shop at 14 Mill Street in Stirling. We love offering service and a great quality product to our community.

I am also President of the volunteer Executive Board for the Stirling Figure Skating Club.
