Kelsey Delane, a Certified Yoga Therapist and Full Spectrum Doula, brings faceted insights, accessible inroads and beautiful relatability to the rich territory of loving yourself without condition.
Kelsey's shares are marked by notable nuance as she interweaves the concepts of embracing the wholeness of life, understanding the mind/body system, and honoring all that coexists amidst duality.
This is vast territory but shared in very real, understandable, relatable ways - all resonating from her very true heart.
Kelsey is an incredibly beautiful person with whom people find safety and the freedom to be themselves. I hope today's episode will be an invitation for you to do likewise.

Kelsey Delane Troup (she/her), C-IAYT, E-RYT500
Certified Yoga Therapist & Full Spectrum Doula

Kelsey Delane is a bookworm, an extroverted introvert & a (milk) chocolate-lover raising three daughters while running her heart-centered yoga business. As a distraught college freshman, Kelsey first fell in love with yoga in 2006. Her yoga mat became her solace from chronic anxiety & depression and where she first explored a gentle relationship with herself. Integrating the tools of breath, somatic awareness, and yoga philosophy into her life has shown her the path to a kind of serenity that is not circumstantial. As a Yoga Therapist, Kelsey’s deepest desire is to de-mystify the time-tested wisdom of Yoga and to hold the hand of her students while they explore new ways of being & co-creating with life. She’s committed to cultivating heart-to-heart relationships that remind you how lovable you are in this exact moment, while simultaneously pushing you to grow into an even more whole version of yourself. She believes that the capacity to build these bonds starts with your friendship with yourself, and that it's within the context of these unconditional love bubbles that we can do the work of healing on the level of the body, mind, heart & spirit.

Today Avi Styskal and I talk about being clear on what you believe and what matters to you - even in the face of differing or opposing opinions.
I think that can be tricky especially in the landscape of our world where there are so many differing voices. It can even be intimidating to try to speak your own mind.
Do you ever find it troublesome to share what you believe? Or do you ever get weighed down by the contentious social media conversations?
Perhaps, sometimes it's prudent not to say something. Or maybe we have a vision for change but find it difficult to speak up.
We each bring such different perspectives and experiences, and that is so incredibly valuable.
Avi shares from a deep resonance of love. In this interview, she talks about the challenges of speaking up for what you believe in, while also how vital it is to do so.
As you listen to this episode, I invite you to search for what you believe. Even in the face of some differing opinions, what is it that really matters to you?
We hope for a world that has more love, and that is at the very heart of this episode.

Today Cat shares her insights about finding and creating safe spaces and how absolutely vital it is for life, relationships, creativity and more.
Safe spaces can sometimes be dismissed too easily as being obviously needed, but in so doing, we may not realize how unsafe we actually were. This could lead to a unexpressed talents, quieted opinions or abandoned passions.
