Danaé Kelley - Founder

Danaé Kelley is the dynamic and compassionate founder of All Bodies Yoga & Somatics, a groundbreaking non-profit dedicated to bringing inclusive, trauma-informed yoga and somatic practices to a diverse community. With over a decade of experience in the field, Danaé holds advanced certifications in yoga instruction, somatic healing methods, and trauma-informed care. She is passionately committed to creating safe and welcoming spaces for all individuals, particularly those who have felt marginalized or unsupported in traditional wellness environments.

Danaé's journey into yoga and somatics began as a deeply personal quest for healing. As someone living with chronic illness, late-diagnosed Autism/ADHD, and complex PTSD, she has firsthand experience of the transformative power of these practices. Her work is not just a profession but a profound calling to facilitate healing and growth in others. Through her classes, Danaé has witnessed countless lives change, with students finding new strength, resilience, and a sense of belonging.

Her expertise is complemented by an unwavering commitment to accessibility. Under her leadership, All Bodies Yoga & Somatics has grown to serve over 600 students monthly, offering more than 250 classes annually on a by-donation basis. This ensures that financial constraints never stand in the way of someone seeking healing and connection. Danaé’s approach integrates ancient yoga philosophies with modern science, including polyvagal theory and neuroscience, to provide a holistic framework for nervous system healing and trauma recovery.

Danaé is known for her authentic, heartfelt teaching style. She creates an environment where students feel safe to show up exactly as they are—messy, exhausted, powerful, curious, or anything in between. Her mission is to empower each individual to connect deeply with their body and mind, fostering a community that celebrates every unique journey.

As a queer, passionate advocate for social justice and healing, Danaé is on a mission to change the world, one class at a time. Her vision extends beyond yoga mats, aiming to heal generations and create ripple effects of positive change in communities far and wide.
