Karen Bachman RYT-500
Karen graduated from the Amalam School of Yoga at Outer Banks Yoga in 2019 and completed her 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training through My Vinyasa Practice in Austin, TX in 2021, and 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Anne Howard in 2023 at Amalam School of Yoga at Outer Banks Yoga.
Connecting the body mind and spirit to playful movement brings joy to Karen's practice. Motivated by exploring movement, consciousness, philosophy and that sweet spot between ancient and modern wisdom, Karen enjoys helping others find their way toward positive change and growth. Her deepest hope is for you to feel strongly connected to your heart when you step off your mat after practicing together.
Kelly Shields RYT-500
In 2016, Kelly began to explore the benefits of yoga, primarily looking for stress relief and to touch her toes. Separate from the physical benefits, Kelly began to see the mental, emotional and spiritual benefits of a yoga practice, and wanted to learn more. Two years later, she registered for the 220-hour yoga teacher training program at Outer Banks Yoga’s Amalam School of Yoga and never looked back. Kelly went on to complete her 300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training at Amalam School of Yoga at Outer Banks Yoga. Through this training, Kelly overcame some of her own fears (headstands, kale, and Sanskrit terms, to name a few), and enjoys encouraging students to overcome their fears and self-doubt and to stretch their bodies and minds further than they thought possible. And yes, Kelly can now touch her toes!
