Kim Sellers, ERYT, has been exploring and practicing different styles of yoga since the 1980’s, and began to teach and share yoga with others in the late 90’s. Yoga is her passion, and she feels very blessed to be teaching Hatha yoga full-time in the South Bend area. Her motivation to teach is to share all of the joy and well-being that can manifest from this ancient healing practice.
Kim teaches yoga and meditation to many different populations, including seniors, children, and cancer survivors; and teaches in university and corporate settings; through hospitals, and in health clubs. She teaches at various conferences throughout the year, and periodically leads workshops on yoga, meditation, and energy-based practices in Indiana and Michigan. She believes that everyone can “do” their own yoga, and strives in her classes to empower her students as they practice the physical, mental, emotional, and pranic aspects of yoga. Kim’s classes emphasize safety, comfort, and growth, and students are guided in all layers of awareness to give them the confidence and as many tools as possible to move more deeply into their practice.
Kim’s eclectic teaching style has unfolded from her training with many teachers from a variety of yogic traditions. Kim initially trained at the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, California with Ganga White and Tracey Rich, and has since been humbled to study with many higher teachers in the U.S. and India; including Rodney Yee, Ana Forrest, Paul Grilley, Dharma Mittra, Manuso Manos, Rod Stryker, and Elesa Commerse. Kim recently completed a yoga certification through Yogamocean under the instruction of Kathleen Flanagan, whose teachings emphasize the alignment and use of props in the style of Iyengar. Kim has been a student of Kathleen's since 1995.
In early 2008, Kim completed the meditation teacher-training program at the Kriya Temple of Yoga in Chicago, under the direction of Swami Kriyananda. Kim is also a Reiki Master/Teacher, and offers reiki sessions and classes. She is also a 2003 graduate of the Tao Mountain School of Traditional Thai Medicine, with a focus on on Thai yoga therapy.
