About Me

I am a Certified Purna Yoga Instructor at the 2000-hour level. My studio offers safe, student-oriented yoga and meditation classes in Maple Leaf (just a mile north of Green Lake). We keep classes small, so you never feel lost in the crowd!

While most of my classes are general, I specialize in women's health...particularly prenatal yoga. I am a Yoga Therapist as well, so I offer private yoga instruction to anyone interested in using the varied tools of Purna Yoga to aid their healing and growth.

When I'm not teaching, practicing, or simply running the studio, I try to engage in some of my favorite activities: time with my husband, fun with our dog, knitting, baking, reading and relaxing.

Review of Private Yoga Instruction, September 30, 2009

Kelly is one of only a handful of Purna Yoga™ Teachers shaped by Aadil Palkhivala, certified by the State of Washington, registered with the Yoga Alliance, and neatly tucking 2,000 hours of teacher training under her Blue Canoe yoga belt.

I've grown tired of choreographed classes that feel "nice" but ultimately do not deeply effect my living in the "bigger picture". Kelly is what I call an "impact teacher". You don't have to know she's good, you can both feel it in your bones and see it project out into your life.

Review of Kelly Pretlow, January 21, 2009

I have enjoyed all of my classes with Kelly. She is deeply knowledgeable about yoga and is able to pass that knowledge on to her students. She takes care to make sure students are in the proper poses so as to avoid injury. Kelly's calm manner is what first impressed me years ago when she was teaching a class at another studio. It prompted me to ask if she taught elsewhere, and that's when I found out about Maple Leaf Community Yoga, Kelly's own studio. The space is clean and the sessions I have attended have never been overcrowded -- in fact, sometimes I was one of two students who were able to show up on a particular day. I strongly recommend Maple Leaf Community Yoga for students of all ability levels.
