Being able to share my passion with others is my true calling and a wonderful gift.” Kelley’s classes focus on self love and self care through relaxing, meditative yoga. Kelley completed her 200 hour teacher training at Cityoga School of Health and Wellness in Indianapolis with Dave Sims, Marsha Pappas and Nikki Myers.

Marci Becker, RYT 200 & Y12SR
Marci fell in love with the practice of yoga through the Healing Spirit yoga studio in Bloomington, Indiana. While living a hectic life with a full time job, family responsibilities, and many other activities, the sanctuary of the yoga studio became more and more important in her life. No matter what else was going on at any given time, going to yoga class always brought her back to a beautiful place within herself.
She became fascinated with the rejuvenating and healing effects of the practice so she decided to study formally. She completed the 200-hour training program with Marsha Pappas and Nikki Myers at the CITYOGA School of Yoga and Health in Indianapolis in the summer of 2010. The training program was everything she wanted and more and she is honored to now share her love of this sacred practice with others.
Marci has lived in Bloomington since 2004 and enjoys traveling, playing softball, volunteering, spending time with her two active young adult children and wonderful husband…and practicing and teaching yoga as much as she can.

Marsha Pappas, ERYT 500
Marsha has been teaching yoga since 1994, focusing on the life-balancing and stress-reducing benefits of the practices. Her teaching has been informed by what she learned from her teacher Swami Satchidinanda, who founded Integral Yoga, a more meditative approach to yoga, as well as many other teachers over the years, including Matt Flickstein, founder of Self-Management though Stress Management, Richard Miller, Ph,D founder of iRest Yoga Nidra Therapy, and Martha Petersen, who trained her as a Somatic Healing Coach.
Combining these practices, all focused on tapping into the body’s wisdom and experiencing through sensation, Marsha has created classes and workshops tailored to the needs of the students. Her understanding of these teachings, as well as her ability to bring humor and practical application to these practices, make her classes “user friendly’ as she has enjoyed teaching her students, some with her for over 15 years.
With a background in working in corporations herself, Marsha has been teaching weekly yoga classes and “desk- top” workshops to those who sit in front of computers all day, with full understanding of the stressors that come with that on all levels: physically, mentally, and emotionally.
She also teaches “Chair Yoga” to women in the medical unit at the Indiana Women’s prison and to those with Special needs at Outside the Box, an Adult day care center. This has made her realize that these practices can be done anywhere, by anybody. We all sit too much in this culture, and the body was meant to move! By releasing our physical tension, we also release our mental stress, where most of our stress is created.
Marsha has been training yoga teachers since 2000 and has helped over 400 teachers receive their certifications at both the 200 and 500 hour levels. She is available for teaching weekly classes, workshops and as guest faculty at yoga schools.
