Kellie Adkins, MS, eRYT200, RYT500, RPYT, RCYT
Studio Director
Kellie Adkins began her journey into yoga with Rodney Yee DVDs at the age of 17. Although her attraction to yoga was immediate, the discipline to practice regularly & the good fortune of practicing with a teacher took 6 more years to manifest. Her next significant encounter with yoga was as a graduate student in Nutrition Sciences at Florida State University. Deeply stressed from a research-driven graduate degree, Kellie took refuge in Tallahasseee's first & only Power Yoga Studio: Prana Power Yoga. In studying yoga with Studio Director Robyn Ceballos & her brother Richmond Dickson, Kellie found the peace, strength and balance she was seeking in other areas of life. In 2007, Kellie completed a 200-hour teacher training, focusing on Classical Yoga and Ayurveda. Later in the year, Kellie also completed a 500-hour Yoga Therapist Training with the PranaVinyasa School of Yoga. In addition to her formal yoga trainings, Kellie has attended workshops and classes with Bryan Kest, Rolf Gates, Kathryn Budig, Sadie Nardini, Tripsichore, Kim Lien-Kendall, Kate Greer, and other gifted teachers. Kellie is profoundly grateful to have the opportunity to share her love of yoga with others on a daily basis!
Kellie truly believes that there is nothing in this life a good dose of breath cannot cure. "Yoga is a powerful tool for personal growth and change and I am grateful to all of my teachers, past and present." Kellie welcomes the opportunity to share the skills she has learned along the way & to offer the healing benefits of a regular yoga practice to you. All yoga is therapeutic: if you can't find what you need in a group setting, Kellie is happy to design a yoga practice suited for your unique needs and is also available for specialized yoga workshops in and around the Central Florida area. Contact Kellie today to schedule a therapeutic yoga session, a yogic nutrition workshop, an Ayurvedic lifestyle assessment, or a master class at your location.
In addition to her yoga education, Kellie holds a M.S. in Nutrition Sciences from Florida State University and a B.A. in Religions from New College of Florida. Kellie is passionate about inspiring people to make positive changes in their life and currently holds workshops and works individually with clients to initiate lifestyle changes. For more information about wellness coaching, nutrition workshops, or health education, please visit our services page.
Kellie and her husband, Stephen Mulford - a childhood friend and the studio co-owner - are happily married and enjoy practicing yoga together.
Kellie teaches the Vinyasa Flow, Power Hour, Kid's Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Meditation, and Intermediate/Advanced Vinyasa classes on the schedule. She also teaches several workshops & series classes including Restorative Vinyasa, Mandala Yoga, Meditation for Beginners, Yoga & Nutrition, Yoga for Stress Relief, Ayurveda, and Healthy Cooking Classes. Kellie is available for private Yoga Therapy & Health coaching sessions by appointment.

Andie Denk, MBA, RYT200

Though she enjoyed the sense of well-being that yoga brought her, it wasn't until Andie began practing with Kellie Adkins in 2008 that yoga became truly meaningful in her life. Shortly after beginning her studies with Kellie at Jeweled Lotus Yoga, Andie started the 200-hour Yoga teacher training program with the Prana Vinyasa School of Yoga led by Saraswati Devi.

Deb Adkins, CYT200
Deb began her journey with yoga nearly 4 years ago when her daughter (Kellie!) encouraged her to start practicing to protect her heart & bones. Deb strives to make each & every class an enjoyable introduction to body awareness and increased well-being. Even early in the morning Deb is perky and upbeat! At each class, Deb likes to share an inspiring and uplifting quote to set the tone for your day. "Yoga is about taking care of yourself. And women, especially, need to take the time to care for themselves as they do for others," says Deb.
Join Deb for Gentle Yoga at Thursdays at 10 am.

Unless we practice loving feelings toward everyone we meet, day in, day out, we're missing out on the most joyous part of life. If we can actually open our hearts, there's no difficulty in being happy. - Ayya Khema
