RETREAT LEADERS
Carlye is an experienced and caring yoga teacher who has developed her teachings to provide balanced and rewarding classes. The classes she offers are primarily Hatha and Vinyasa style that are made accessible to practitioners of all levels. Her compassion and unique ability to tune into the needs of others creates an environment for exploration, guiding students further into their yoga practice and deeper into the physical poses. Teaching internationally for the past four years, she has led a multitude of classes, workshops, and private sessions.
Carlye first completed her 200-hour training in 2014, and two years later went on to pursue her 500 hour advanced yoga training in the birthplace of yoga: Rishikesh, India. She is currently studying health and human performance, adding a modern perspective of fitness and health to her yoga background. The experiences and knowledge gained throughout her journeys continues to inspire her to travel and connect with students from across the globe. Guided by yoga, she has found an extraordinary and more meaningful life, one that is accessible to all who are open to growth.
Mandy is passionate about inspiring people through their unique paths. Hailing from a background in psychology, she has always been drawn to healing. It was her own ongoing experience with a chronic thyroid condition that led to her to the discovery of Yoga. At the core of her practice is a belief that the mind and body work together to reveal messages that bring us to an awareness of dis-ease that exists in the psyche. By engaging the innate intelligence of the mind-body connection, we can resolve to overcome these challenges.
Owing to her curiosity in Chinese medicine and Ayurveda she chose to pursue her yoga teacher training in India at the foothills of the Himalayas. Primarily a student of Vinyasa, she also draws on Reiki teachings and philosophy to lead students on an active education about the importance of cultivating wellness at the physical, emotional and mental levels. Her approach to teaching rests on the premise that there is both a place for moving meditative yoga practices as well as potential for healing in static styles like Yin yoga.
As an extension of the physical world around us, a healthy body and mind is the basis for a more conscious and caring world. She hosts yoga events which are carefully planned both to develop a communal sense of consciousness and serve as a creative outlet for all participants in a lasting way. She firmly believes it is this myriad of experiences and an inquisitive, open mind that will allow students to find their freedom in yoga.

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you can find a voice that can simultaneously love you as you are, see your inner potential, understand the shadows that you’re hiding from, and lovingly call you into a place of growth, release, and self-belief. Kelli has that voice, along with a quirky, sharp-witted, down to earth sense of humor that will have you laughing and crying at the same time.
I wish every weekend could be a yoga retreat with Kelli! This past weekend was the most valuable way I have spent a weekend in a long time. Kelli speaks from real life experiences that everyone can relate to and has a way of making you feel like she is teaching just to you. She has a gift of incredible energy and the deep desire for people to love their bodies and live life to the fullest.
Many yoga teachers hold themselves out as paragons of virtue and good living. You can immediately sense their insincerity. On the other hand, some, like the extraordinary Kelli Prieur, are real. Kelli is honest with herself and with others. She is brave and generous in sharing her own vulnerability and pain and loss…and the personal journey she has made and continues to make to deal with “her shit”. That’s what makes Kelli so special and inspirational. We all know our own flaws and weaknesses and spend most of our lives hiding them out of fear or embarrassment. When you realize everyone is saddled with the same baggage, but there are ways of moving through and beyond the limitations we impose on ourselves, as Kelli teaches, that’s the transcendental light-bulb moment. Kelli hits the switch.
