Kelly Phillips, Founder & Senior Fitness Director

Kelly is a lady of deep passion; a special needs mom, a Special Education teacher (Masters Degree in Teaching), and a fitness pro who specializes in providing outstanding adaptive fitness and yoga opportunities for all abilities and all disabilities. 

In 2021, Kelly completed the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Certification and also completed the 120 Hour Mindful Communities Meditation Training, both through SWEAT Power Yoga. She is elated to share these powerful and important experiences with her clients, and finds great joy in witnessing the healing of yoga and meditation in others. 

Her (now famous) motto, "You're way is the right way", is a statement that is shared throughout classes. It speaks to the fact that every individual is uniquely valued, NOT in spite of their differences, but celebrated because of their differences. In appreciation of the challenges that people with disabilities, along with their families, must tackle and overcome every single day. Kelly strives to build community among participants, whether in person or virtually. Our differences bring us together, to shine our light, to be proud of who we are; to show the world our authentic selves. She began teaching Adaptive Zumba Classes to her daughter, Sarah, and a few of Sarah's peers in 2010. As she achieved important fitness certifications, class offerings were increased and Kelly founded Totally Adaptive, a nonprofit organization.
