Our Mission

Joy Tree Yoga with Kelly was created 6 years ago to encourage the community to connect with themselves, each other, and the world through Yoga. Yoga allows you to summon strength and flexibility of the body, bring focus and calm to the mind, and balance and love to the spirit. Kelly also has a passion for the environment. She strives to cultivate an attitude of eco-friendly business and life practices by donating a portion of  her proceeds to environmental organizations.

Kelly Garner – Owner & Teacher

Kelly began practicing yoga nearly 15 years ago. She found that yoga brought her a sense of calm, greater strength, and flexibility. Yoga encourages accepting yourself exactly as you are in the moment and opening yourself to continually transform, which is what inspired Kelly to teach. She became certified at the 200 Hour Level at Union/Yoga in Lake Leelanau, Michigan in 2006. She is also a Certified White Belt Nia Teacher. She is pursuing her 500 Hour Level training in Yoga and continues ongoing education courses in Nia (a blend of dance, yoga and martial arts). She has had the pleasure of studying with many prominent teachers including, Sandra Carden, Desiree Rumbaugh, Shiva Rea, John Friend, Betsy Downing and Winalee Zeeb. She strives to share her ongoing and ever evolving practice with her students.
