Adrienne Kelly-Durys – RYT 500, Reiki Level 2
What and where to do you teach? Power Hour Yoga, Power Yoga Vibe, Power Hour + Bonus, Yoga Core and Power Yoga Beginner Basics at BLY in Ajax.
What do like best about teaching? I love being a part of the positive energy that flows between everyone throughout the class. It is so rewarding to be able to connect with people in such a positive space.
What drew you to yoga? There was never one specific reason why I started practicing, it was as if I was just drawn to yoga and I knew it was right for me, even before my first class. One day I decided “I’ll do yoga today” and I’ve been practicing ever since.
What is your favorite pose? Ardha-Chandrasana – half moon pose. I love the challenge of the posture, along with the feeling of lightness and openness it creates for me.
What is a challenging pose for you? Adho Mukha Svanasana – Downward Facing dog, because I am always working to find that place of steadiness and ease in this pose.
What did you want to be when you grew up? A doctor
If you could have dinner with any 4 people alive or dead who would they be and why? Ghandi – because he was such a profound and original thinker. Tori Amos – because her music showed me how beautiful the piano is. David Suzuki – because he is so passionate about saving our beautiful planet and he has so much to teach us. My Grandmother – because she knows how to make everyone feel special and I miss her.
What is something about you that may surprise people? I married someone with the same name as me!
What is your personal mantra for happiness or success? “Be the change you want to see in the world” – Ghandi (because I believe that change always starts with you)
