About
Hi there!
My name is Kelsey Hefner, and I teach yoga all over the Portland metro area. I have been studying yoga for about 9 years, and have been teaching for 4 of those years. I feel a deep connection to the transformative powers of yoga in all of its aspects - physical, mental, and emotional.
I love to create a one on one unique experience for you and your body. Whether you are a beginner yogi looking to start a yoga practice, or a seasoned practitioner looking to deepen your practice, I am here to help you! I teach mostly vinyasa yoga, but I have experience with Ashtanga, Yin, Restorative, and Hatha Yoga as well.
I have taken two separate 200 hour RYS teacher trainings, as well as countless workshops. I am currently working towards my 500 hour certification. Please contact me if you are interested in working with me one on one.
I would love to connect with you! Please follow me on instagram: @kelseyflows

Take care, yogis!
I offer a variety of one on one sessions. I love helping people find connection to their deepest and most authentic self whether it is through asana (postures), deep study of yogic philosophy, breath work, or meditation - I am all in. Please contact me so we can discuss what it is you're looking for in your yoga practice.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to take extra time to discuss what they are seeking within their yoga practice first so I can develope unique classes and exercises that will enrich each student's life individually. From there we can decide what works for them and what does it and adjust as needed. I want the experience to benefit the student first, always!

I like to offer pricing on a sliding scale based on monthly income. I think yoga should be accesible to everyone. My pricing structure is as follows:
Monthly household income:
Bracket 1: $0-3,000 I charge $50/hour or $30/half hour
Bracket 2: $3,100 - $5,000 I charge $75/hour or $45/half hour
Bracket 3: $5100 and above I charge $90/hour or $50/half hour
Packages:
If you buy a package of 3 sessions at once, you get a $5/hour discount.
If you buy a package of 5 sessions at once you get a $10/hour discount.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently taught a donation based fundraiser class in which all proceeds went to an organization called Living Yoga. Living Yoga offers trauma informed yoga classes to youth and adults in places like rehabilitation centers, drug and addiction treatment centers, prisons, etc. It's an amazing organization doing amazing things for the community. I raised over $200 for them through this class!

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are you looking for in your yoga practice?
Do you have any injuries or limitations that we as teachers need to know about?
