About

 

Hello, love. I am so happy you here!

Hey there, I am Kalee. I’m a proud mama, yoga teacher + meditation guide, and educator. I have been in education for the last 12 years- first, in the US public school system teaching in various Title 1 schools and presently as an educator at the American Embassy School in New Delhi, India.

I have spent my whole life seeking a deeper connection with the world around me. Often this looks like meditation but sometimes it looks like simply marveling at nature while other times it looks like playing dress up with my children. I have had the privilege of teaching yoga classes around the world. I have taught yoga at mother-baby centers and homeless shelters for women, a college for social workers in Haiti, wellness festivals in India, and classrooms, backyards, and yoga studios around the world It is my soul’s calling to share what I have learned along the way.

I am a certified yoga teacher and a level 1 reiki guide. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in social work. It is my honor to be a TEL (Transformative Educational Leadership) Fellow for the 2022-23 school year. In May of 2022, I gave a TEDx talk on the "Oh so Simple and Life-Changing Power of Gratitude". Check it out to see if the message resonates, I hope it does! You can also find some of my meditations on Insight Timer. Whether working with students, teachers, or my own children, my mission is always the same: to guide others to connect with their own inner light and feel good.

When not at school, you can find me getting my feet dirty in the garden, riding horses with my family, and being outside as much as possible. Find me on social media where I pop in for inspiration or to share exciting news. Want to chat? I would love to hear from you!

It was my great JOY to give a @ted talk on a profound practice of mine- the oh so simple and life changing practice of gratitude. The talk is juicy- I talk about my journey with postpartum depression and one way I started to look for the light. It also offers practical ways to start your own gratitude practice. The talk is about 13 minutes long so snuggle in ❤️. The link is in my profile and 👇🏽 in the comments. If this message resonates, please share it with others. If there is one thing I know for sure, it’s that the world needs more light and loving energy. I bow in deep gratitude for your presence. Thanks, y’all! . . . #tedtalks #tedtalk #gratitude #practiceofgratitude #mindfulness #presentmoment #beherenow #postpartumdepression #depression #depressionawareness #saythankyou
This is all heavy. Our nervous systems are fried after two crushing pandemic years and a series of senseless tragedies. Take some time today to simply be. I’ll do the same. Put your phone down. Take a deep breath. Walk barefoot on the grass
This is all heavy. Our nervous systems are fried after two crushing pandemic years and a series of senseless tragedies. Take some time today to simply be. I’ll do the same. Put your phone down. Take a deep breath. Walk barefoot on the grass. Take a bubble bath. Hug somebody. Slowly drink a cup of tea. Smell a flower. Call your mom. We can do this❤️. #selfcare #mindfulness #mindful #mindfulliving #breatheinbreatheout #breathe #beherenow #presentmoment
I am ⚡️. Whatever follows you will become. Do you fill that valuable real estate with affirming or negative words? You, me, we all have an internal script running constantly. I am tired. I am fat. I am not where I want to be. I am (the list could go
I am ⚡️. Whatever follows you will become. Do you fill that valuable real estate with affirming or negative words? You, me, we all have an internal script running constantly. I am tired. I am fat. I am not where I want to be. I am (the list could go on and on). Or… Or do you fill that space with words that are a bit more uplifting? It doesn’t need to be a lie if you feel low but subtly shift your internal language to read as more expansive. I am on my way. I am whole. I am energized by my life. I am hopeful. Somebody wise once said whatever follows I am will come looking for you. As for me, I am excited for what this day will bring⚡️. What about you? I am _______. . . . . #mindfulness #mindful #beherenow #positivethoughts #positivevibes #powerofpositivity #beyourownhealer #yoga #meditation

But really, what makes you come alive 🌱? Lean into that. Say yes to that expansive feeling and a firm no that which makes you shrink. . . As for me, it’s all things yoga + meditation, spending time in nature, hugging my family, teaching yoga, beautiful Indian fabrics, riding horses 🐎, flow-y dresses + being surrounded by plants + fresh flowers. How about you, love? . . Thanks for the inspiration @oprahdaily. . . . #wisewords #inspirationalquotes #inspiration #purpose
C O N N E C T Yes, it is a tad cliche and I’m going to say it again + again. Whatever else you do this weekend, I hope you make time to connect with yourself and recharge. That might look like cooking a delicious meal, a solo run in the park
C O N N E C T Yes, it is a tad cliche and I’m going to say it again + again. Whatever else you do this weekend, I hope you make time to connect with yourself and recharge. That might look like cooking a delicious meal, a solo run in the park or reading a juicy book. It can be anything! Just make (key word there) some precious time to do something that fills you up. You deserve it ❤️. I’ll do it, too. For me, it will look like chanting daily (Nam Myoho Renge Kyo), yoga in the park and a solo walk to admire flowers 🌸. Share 👇🏽, what’s one thing you will do to connect this weekend? . Picture taken two years ago (how is that even possible?!) @vitalityhours. Yoga gear + cork mat from the always fab @shakti__warrior. . . . . #selfcare #fillyourcup #maketime #yoga #meditation #deepbreaths #takecareofyourself #nammyohorengekyo #chanting
