I am Kaeli Hines, owner of Desert Yoga And Sound, LLC. I began my journey as a yogi and pilates student in 2000 around the age of 15  and began training to teach in 2008. After taking some time to raise my kids, I completed my yoga teacher training in 2018 to become an RYT200. I am currently completing my advanced training to be an RYT500. I hold specialty certifications in Children’s Yoga, Pre/Post Natal Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Mat Pilates, and Aqua Yoga/Fitness. I am a certified Sound Healing Facilitator and Reiki II/Prayer Healing Facilitator. I believe yoga is for everybody and every body. I love sharing my passion and my joy with my students and friends, my three kids, my husband, and our Bengal cat who often reminds me to stretch out into puppy pose or do a sphinx pose. I believe the yoga mat offers grace, mending powers, and acceptance. It is so important that we fill our own cups with self-care so that we can overflow love and light onto those we care for. I believe this approach to self-care is vital to thriving in life. My up-bringing taught me to use the remedying power of touch, harness natural methods for healthcare and nutrition, and most importantly to love people, for we are all deserving of love, and to love thyself and recognize the divine within for we are all perfectly and wonderfully made. I believe that contentment and happiness come from self-acceptance, forgiveness, and from continually seeking opportunities to lovingly serve others. I utilize my teaching to share this message through compassion, encouragement, love, and laughter.
