Kendell

Instructor

Hi friends! My name is Kendell and I am a 200-Hour Certified Yoga Instructor. I received my certification in 2026 right here at Urban Om. My journey to yoga began at the age of 14, when my childhood ballet instructor suggested that I try yoga as a way to connect to myself both physically and mentally while in the process of going through eating disorder treatment.

While I did step away from my mat for a period of time, I found myself eventually being called back to my practice about 4 years ago when searching once more for a way to heal my relationship with my body. I’ve found healing, strength, clarity, and resilience through my practice and I hope to share these same discoveries with each of my students. I offer classes that are both powerful and grounded, while exemplifying all of the amazing things our bodies can do when treated with love and intention. In my classes, you can expect creative flows, funky playlists, and an opportunity to explore what your body is truly capable of!

Outside of the studio, I work full time as a mental health therapist in DeLand and have obtained my Masters of Social Work from the University of Central Florida. When I’m not practicing yoga or creating new playlists, you can find me hiking or backpacking with my partner, taking my dog for a walk, or hitting up the gym. Some of my favorite things besides yoga are watching movies, going thrift shopping, and getting a new tattoo.
